RECOMMENDATIONS FOR DIVING
The diving gear we recomend for a diving safari is:
- Lightweight equipment composed of mask, fins and snorkel
- Full regulator with two second stages and manometer
- BCD
- Wetsuit
- Diving Light
- IMPORTANT: It is mandatory to bring a dive computer and safety buoy, and of course to know how to use them.
The standard diving tanks are 12 l and aluminum.
We have 15 l steel tanks available. If you want to rent one, it is necessary that you communicate it in advance to your travel agency to have it prepared the day you arrive. The cost per week is 60 dollars.
The tanks may use the international or DIN standards.
On board we have rental equipment, but being a boat, we do not have the same amount as a dive centre. Therefore it is also necessary that you communicate it in advance to your travel agency so that we have it planned before your arrival.
IMPORTANT: We insist on the obligation to have a dive computer and safety buoy per person. Be also sure you know how to use them.
DIVING CONDITIONS
The temperature of the sea at diving depths varies between 27 ° C and 30 ° C throughout the year.
Many passengers make up to 3 dives daily, so they need to protect themselves; We recommend a 3mm wetsuit for all the seasons or a 5mm if you feel the cold a lot.
All dives are made from an auxiliary boat called dhoni. All diving equipment will always be on the dhoni which will not always be accessible from the main boat. It is necessary to take it into account when considering what is diving equipment and what is not.
Most of the dives are deeper than 12 meters. And we usualy look for places with current, where we can find the fauna that we want to see. For that reason, Open water juniors will not be able to participate in all dives.
