What to expect
You'll meet your instructor on the island, get properly fitted with a wetsuit and scuba gear, then receive a pre-dive briefing covering essential techniques and safety signals. Entry into the water is gradual—you'll start in shallow areas where your instructor walks you through breathing underwater and basic buoyancy control. Once comfortable, you'll descend deeper to see reef life up close: fish, corals, and perhaps larger marine animals. The dive itself takes roughly an hour, with time before and after for prep and debrief.
