Dive FAQs

Before you book

Is night diving scary?

The first five minutes feel strange — then it turns magical. Your guide stays within arm's reach the whole dive.

What will we actually see?

Octopus, moray eels, Spanish dancer, sleeping turtles and glowing plankton swirling around your torch beam.

Do I need experience?

Open Water plus a few logged dives is enough. Your buoyancy should be reasonably under control.
