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. Nothing fancy about the beds, and nothing wrong with them either. The cooking was a genuine surprise — better than most places we'd have picked ourselves. Worth every rupee.

Visibility was excellent and the boat ran on time every morning. Would send friends their way.

Kit was in good condition, which matters more than people realise. Never went hungry, and the tea appeared exactly when it was needed. No hesitation recommending them.

Instruction was patient — I came in nervous and finished wanting to book the next level. Dorms were tidy and the common areas were where the group actually gelled. Would send friends their way.

Questions people ask

No, and neither should anyone recreational. The Arch is at fifty-six metres, well beyond recreational limits, and the memorial plaques on the cliff above it are for people who tried. This trip does the Bells entry and the wall at thirty, which is the good dive anyway.
