Certification card (certified divers only), swimwear, reef safe sun protection (no sprays), towels, customary gratuity for the boat staff (20% recommended) and a smile! We will provide everything else. We also encourage you to bring a reusable water bottle to do your part to reduce single-use plastic waste.
Please note: At times, everything on the boat has the potential of getting wet. We suggest leaving water sensitive items at home or bringing them in a waterproof dry bag. Dry bags are available for purchase at the marina and shop.
All guests on board the boat must be able to swim comfortably and capably in open water without assistance.
Discover Scuba Diving participants and dive students MUST complete a Diver Medical Questionnaire prior to diving. Please review and complete in advance of your trip as some conditions require a physician's written pre-approval and you will not be permitted to dive without it. Certified divers have already agreed to dive in good health and within their capabilities but are also encouraged to review the questionnaire in case any medical conditions have changed since their last dive.
Please note: Major holidays subject to 25% surcharge.
