Exploration Dive

How do we find such amazing dive sites? By exploring of course. Sometimes we are following GPS numbers given to us by fisherman, sometimes we are pushed off the reef by the current and we stumble upon something new. It takes between 3-5 exploration dives to find the best route through the reefs. Join us for the ultimate adventure!
