BEFORE YOU GO · CAUTIONARY DETAILS
Dive within your certification
A card states a depth and a set of conditions. Going beyond either on holiday, with an instructor who has known you for an hour, is how divers get hurt.
Never hold your breath
The first rule of breathing compressed air, and the one that kills people who forget it. Breathe continuously on every ascent.
No flying for at least eighteen hours
After multiple dives, longer. Book the flight home with a clear day in between, not the same evening.
Touch nothing
Coral takes decades to grow and breaks in a moment, and a great deal of what looks inert is alive. Buoyancy control is not just a skill, it is how you avoid destroying what you came to see.

Great few days in the water. Briefings were clear and nobody was pushed beyond their level. Would send friends their way.

Visibility was excellent and the boat ran on time every morning. Rooms were comfortable and the locations meant we could walk most evenings. Crew were professional without being stiff about it.

Instruction was patient — I came in nervous and finished wanting to book the next level. Hotels were clean and central, which saved a lot of time. Meals were good throughout and the vegetarian options weren't an afterthought. Solid operator.

Kit was in good condition, which matters more than people realise. Rooms were comfortable and the locations meant we could walk most evenings.

Questions people ask

Tofo has one of the higher hit rates anywhere because the population is resident rather than migratory, but it is still the open ocean. Three safaris is a serious attempt. Operators who guarantee it are either lying or chasing animals, and chasing is what drives them away from a site permanently.
