What to expect
You'll board a boat and head out to a calm dive site chosen for its abundant marine life and gentle conditions. Start with 20–30 minutes snorkelling at the surface to acclimatise, then your instructor will kit you up and guide you underwater. Descent is gradual and controlled; most of the dive happens between 5–10 metres where visibility is excellent. Expect close encounters with local species—parrotfish, wrasse, and if you're lucky, larger residents like groupers. The whole experience is paced to your comfort; your guide stays at your side throughout.
Good to know
Avoid flying or climbing high altitudes within 12 hours before or after diving. You must complete a health declaration; certain conditions (asthma, heart issues, diabetes, high blood pressure) may exclude you—check with your doctor first. Children aged 10–15 need a supervising adult. Wear swimwear underneath. Public transport reaches the departure point.
