All of our dives are guided. An Dive Instructor or Dive Master will familiarize you with the boat, and once we reach our dive site, he will also brief you on the dive. Generally we dive in a group lead by instructor or divemaster. More experienced divers are free to form their own groups or buddy pairs. The vessel has a dive deck, where you can enter the water with 'giant stride' method. An easy to climb ladder with wide steps will make it easy to climb back on board. Our friendly deckhands will help you handle your gear. If you surface away from the boat, the boat or the dinghy will pick you up.
