THE FUN PART
Given that diving is an extreme sport, please be aware that currents, weather, visibility and other conditions can change before, or during each dive. Our guides can only make a judgement of each dive based on the current conditions for each site. Please follow instructions given in the diver briefing and please be current with your certifications. If you are new to diving or it has been some time since you last dove, please let us know and we can do a refresher course. We also need to know if you carry a current DAN card and appreciate a copy of this ahead of time.
