FAQ

Quick answers.

Do I need scuba experience?

No. This is snorkelling at the surface with a supervised group. No diving certification or experience required.

Will I go deep?

No — this is a surface activity. The scooters are used horizontally at the surface. We also use swim buoys for visibility and safety.

What if the weather is bad?

Safety first: the trip is weather-dependent. If conditions aren't right, we'll reschedule or apply the policy shown at booking.

Can I come if my partner is diving?

Definitely yes — this makes it a great option for couples or groups where some are diving and others aren't. Non-divers get a real ocean experience at their own level.

What should I bring?

Swimwear, a rashguard or light wetsuit, towel, sun protection, and water. All technical gear (DPV, mask, snorkel, fins, buoy) is provided.
