For diving enthusiasts, our diving club boat will be ready to pick you up as soon as we arrive on the island. We recommend one dive due to the tour duration, with an average visibility ranging from 2 to 7 meters. These waters boast impressive volcanic rock formations, bustling schools of fish, graceful rays, elusive moray eels, and white tip sharks. We provide all the necessary scuba equipment, along with a knowledgeable Dive Master or Instructor as your guide. Just let us know your wetsuit size.
If you are not certified, you can still join our diving tour by opting for a discovery experience, which serves as an introduction to diving. Upon reaching the island, you will board another boat for the discovery session. Starting with exercises in calm waters no deeper than 2 meters, you’ll familiarize yourself with the equipment. Then, under the guidance of a Dive Master or Instructor, you’ll enjoy a professional dive experience, not exceeding 7 meters in depth.
