Please don't leave it until

-
In the
mornings we meet at the beach under the Scuba Centre Gazebo at least
half an hour before launch time.
-
One of
our Beach Hands will help you kit up on the beach and will look after
your equipment for the duration of your stay.
-
The
Divemaster does a briefing, advising the group on which reefs it will
be possible to visit based on the weather conditions of the day.
-
The
decision is then left up to the group and is based on a majority vote!
-
On the
first dive we usually try to visit one of the further reefs (5, 7
& 9 mile) & on the second dive we head for one of the spots
around 2 Mile Reef.
-
The
divers push the boat (7.2 metre semi-inflatable) into the water &
the skipper launches the boat through the surf –
very exciting!! The length of the boat ride depends on which reef you are
visiting and varies from 5 minutes to about 45 minutes.
-
Once you
reach the dive site you put your gear on and in you all go!!
-
You drift
dive together as a group led by the Divemaster.
-
Once the
dive is over & everyone is back on board, the boat heads for
shore.
-
The whole
dive usually takes about 2 hours.
-
When you
return to the beach, while the Beach Hand rinses your gear, you can
shower, get out of your wetsuits, and have something to eat or drink
from the kiosk.
-
Then
relax under the shade of our Gazebo for an hour or two until the
second dive.
