What to expect
You'll be collected from your hotel and transported to the dive site, where your instructor runs through essential techniques in shallow water before you head deeper. Expect 30–45 minutes exploring the reef itself, watching fish dart through formations and rays glide along the seabed. The water's cool but clear, and you'll move at a relaxed pace with your guide constantly nearby. Surface intervals and safety checks punctuate the dive, then you'll head back to shore for a rinse and return trip.
