A pre-dive briefing in English covers machine handling and the bay's prime viewing spots, with snorkelling gear included.

What to expect
You'll start on dry land with a thorough rundown of your Aquajet's controls and the bay's layout. Once briefed, you'll wade in and mount your craft. The jet responds to thumb-operated throttle—lean forward to descend, pull back to surface. Visibility is excellent, with sandy patches, rock formations, and small fish schools appearing as you cruise 2–5 metres down. The experience feels less like an adrenaline rush and more like a contemplative drift through a living underwater landscape. Most of the 75 minutes is in the water.
Good to know
Swimming ability is essential; non-swimmers cannot participate. Cardiovascular fitness matters, as breath-holding underwater is involved. Infants may be held by an adult in shallow water but cannot pilot a jet. Service animals are welcome. Public transport connects to the launch site.
