About this tour

Equipment and photography are provided; no meals or private transport are included.

What to expect
You'll start on the boat where staff fit your full-face mask and walk you through basic equipment checks. The descent is gradual, with your instructor staying close and pausing to let your body adjust to pressure changes. Breathing feels almost normal—air flows in through your nose and out the same way, which many find less intimidating than traditional regulators. The reef comes alive around you: colorful fish, coral formations, and clear blue water. Most dives stay shallow enough that you can surface quickly if needed. The whole outing runs about two-and-a-half hours, including boat time and water time.
Good to know
Not suitable for pregnant travelers, those with high blood pressure, or people with heart conditions. Public transport reaches the departure point. Children can come along in a stroller, though only diving-age kids enter the water. Bring a towel and change of clothes.
