Fun dives are for exploring, not formal instruction, and we do not use a dive line to descend. If you would like some guidance or technique feedback while you are out, just ask and we will help where we can. If you want to focus on skills, technique and increasing depth, book a coaching session instead.

The deeper reef (7 to 15m) is less busy, with a wall dropping to 30m. There is a small Hindu temple at 3m and statues at 5 to 6m.

Schedule and logistics

We usually meet at the school between 9 and 10am or between 2 and 3pm. Once you've met your instructor and talked through the dive, we get you kitted up and head to the site. Jemeluk Bay and the boat are on our doorstep, so no transport is needed. For the other sites, we travel by automatic scooter. The instructor can take one person on the back of their bike. If there are more of you, each extra person needs their own scooter (available to rent locally).

Prerequisites

You need to be able to snorkel without a life jacket. We always recommend doing a Wave 1 freediving course first if you can, because that is how you get the most out of fun dives.
