What are the diving logistics?

  • Open Water certification with 30 logged dives is accepted but due to depths of 100 ft./30M or more on some dives, Advanced Open Water certification with 50+ logged dives is strongly recommended. Guests without AOW certification may choose to take the course aboard or may find that some dives are unsuitable for their experience level.
  • Divers are required to bring a medical form less than one year old and if needed a current physician certification of fitness to dive. 
  • Certified Nitrox divers will also receive free Nitrox for their trip! Please remember to bring your Nitrox certification.
  • To maximize the time guests will be able to explore these mesmerizing regions, up to 5 dives will be offered daily (depending on season). From May through September, up to 5 dives a day are offered. From October through April, 4 dives a day are offered due to shorter days and less daylight. 
  • Dives are typically done from one of two tenders, however occasional dives may be done from the mother ship. The tenders can accommodate up to 10 divers each but the diver to guide ratio is 8:1 and the maximum load on a tender at any time is 7. Not all divers will be on the same site at the same time (depending on the dive site’s configuration and sea conditions).
  • Maximum depth allowed by law is 40 meters or 130 feet.
  • Knives and gloves are not allowed.
  • Night dives are not allowed in the marine park.
  •  It is mandatory that each diver has the following equipment and documents: Dive computer, depth gauge and watch, a surface signaling device (SMB – Deployment will be required during the check dive), snorkel, diving certification cards, a regulator with an octopus, torch (for night & wreck dives) and a weight belt or integrated weight jacket.
