Discover Scuba diving (DSD) from the dive boat with additional snorkeling stop after
During your DSD, you learn how to use the equipment, followed by your first ocean dive from the dive boat. You spend your time underwater with your instructor and colorful tropical fish. After, add a second dive or just snorkel at the 2nd location. This is conducted in small groups of not more than 4 students per instructor. Please be sure to review the medical questionnaire to make sure you don't need to show a doctors note in order to participate.
Our boat is stocked with water, soft drinks, snacks and Rum punch after the diving/snorkeling. Do you have divers and snorkelers in the same group? No problem some of you can dive while others explore the ocean from the surface - snorkeling.
