Diving

Most of our dives are from the main vessel while moored over the dive site. Each vessel has two rigid inflatables for use when conditions require, including drift and night dives. The inflatables are large and stable with substantial rear entry ladders.

There is no rush or limit placed on your dive time. Standard itineraries usually provide 3 dive sites per day. Normally we have an ‘open deck’ at a single site in the morning and visit 2 sites in the afternoon (this may be reversed). This provides divers with the freedom to dive as much or as little as they want. Those seeking a relaxed holiday may choose to do one dive at each new dive site while keener divers might choose to do up to 5 dives per day.

We offer nitrox, solo diving and a rebreather service. Nitrox fills are EAN32 (32% oxygen) with a maximum 1.6bar PO2 at 40metres depth. Nitrox divers are required to dive with a nitrox computer. A complimentary computer workshop is offered to those hiring a computer.
