Choosing your cruise
Compare the level required, the number of dives (about 18 for 7 nights on one boat, up to 4 a day) and what is included (meals, nitrox, rental, park fees). The prices read were examples of September to October 2026 departures: they vary by date, so check with the operator. Currents and swell are stronger offshore: experience matters.
Before and alongside
