Our staff keep a constant watch over the snorkeling sites making sure all passengers can enjoy the amazing wildlife in perfect safety. Our snorkel supervisors are all experienced Divemasters and provide in-depth briefings on safety procedures and site orientation, so you know where to find all the 'cool stuff'.
For the beginners we offer one-on-one tuition on gear use and snorkeling techniques, a selection of buoyancy aids (foam noodles, life jackets and wetsuits) and FREE snorkel guides are available all day long to guide you through the natural maze of beautiful coral and fishes.
Introductory Diving (No experience necessary)
Try Scuba diving without any previous training or experience!
That’s right, if you have never dived before and have always wished to experience first hand the beauty of the underwater world you can arrange an Introductory dive with one of our friendly and professional Instructors. Try our Free Scuba lesson…it’s fun and it’s easy!

Locations are chosen each day based on weather conditions and water clarity so as to ensure the best experience for all activities.
