Small groups on private vessels emphasize safety, camaraderie, and individualized attention.
Equipment rentals are available daily, offering tanks, masks, regulators, and other gear for divers who prefer to use rental equipment. Boat-based cruises include a 1.5‑hour Friday sunset and fireworks cruise with wildlife spotting opportunities for dolphins and whales.
