Scuba instruction courses can be arranged with one of many dive operators, although a full certification would involve up to 5 days of training.
Adult snorkel equipment is provided but we recommend you bring snorkel equipment and a buoyancy aid for your children to ensure comfort, safety and a good fit.
These catamarans are ideally suited for you to optimize your diving adventure. Each vessel has a dive platform between the hulls at the back of the boat where you can prepare comfortably for your dive. At most locations, you simply step off this platform to start exploring the depths.
If you are considering becoming certified before your vacation, you can complete your open water dives here in the islands. This is known as open water referral and involves four dives over two days with a dive instructor. Any instruction is at the guest’s expense and with a local operator, who we can rendezvous with during the charter.
