The first dive always takes place in a lagoon on a protected, shallow site. Subsequent dives may take place in the lagoon or on the outer reef. There may be slight variations depending on the weather, but usually 4 dives take place in the lagoon and 2 on the outer reef.

After your dive, you must wait at least 12 hours before boarding a local flight. You must wait at least 24 hours to board an international flight.

Contact lenses can be used for diving, but we recommend using daily disposable lenses for reasons of convenience and hygiene.
