What to expect

You'll complete a pre-dive briefing covering conditions and site specifics before heading out to the reef. Depending on weather and marine life activity, your guide will select from multiple dive sites—all chosen for their health and biodiversity. Each descent lasts around 45–60 minutes, with surface intervals for decompression and observation. Between dives, you'll eat locally prepared meals and relax on deck. If you opt into the Eye on the Reef program, you'll record coral health and species data on your underwater slate. The day wraps around late afternoon.
