General Information

Diving conditions at many of the locations covered on this itinerary can be challenging, even for experienced divers. Depths, strong currents and reduced visibility at certain sites mean they are not suitable for entry-level divers or those who have not dived in similar conditions before.

This itinerary involves some long-distance and overnight cruising. While we endeavour to ensure the number of scheduled dives is fulfilled, sea conditions and other factors can impact the number of dives possible.

On most days, your Cruise Director will schedule up to 4 dives - 2 morning dives and, where possible, 2 afternoon dives. For safety reasons, there are no night dives.
