Your depth, by certification

Your depth follows your certification: 12 meters for Scuba Diver, 18 to 20 meters for Open Water, 20 to 30 meters from Advanced, though we usually stop around 22-24 meters, where most of the marine life is. All agencies are welcome: PADI, SSI, SDI, ANMP, FFESSM, CMAS. Bring your certification card.

Sharks, manta rays and leopard rays

In the lagoon and outside the reef, each site has its own coral and marine life: blacktip and lemon sharks, graceful manta rays and leopard rays. Most dives are easy; drift dives require a little more experience.
