From there, you will have the freedom to explore at your leisure around the dive site. If you plan to venture out of the snorkel area, please bring a dive flag!

After we get salty together, we will gather on the beach for a community potluck to talk about the dive and connect even more! We will provide a table along with some other goodies, but please bring some snacks, drinks and anything else you would like to share with your new mermaid friends!
