What you can expect

Are you ready to have a memorable dive inside of our marine protected area? This park has been protected for over 35 years, and offers an abundant amount of fish-life while sheltering the infamous large Dusky groupers. The chance of diving along a Dusky Grouper is high as they are curious and feel safe within their protected habitatt.
Taking a camera along is highly recommended, as there will be plenty of things you will wish to show back home.

What can you expect your dive day to look like?

  • After all administrative tasks the gear will be prepared and checked for the dive
  • Thorough dive briefing held by your guide
  • A short swim to the boat, followed by a boat ride to the East (approx. 10-15min)
  • Dive at the infamous Garajau national park
  • Drive back to the dive-center, return equipment and enjoy a hot shower! Stamps are ready for your logbook.

Certified divers only! You are required to have dived within the last 12 months, if that is not the case we are happy to take you on an easy shore dive with us before joining our boat dives. Please understand that this is not only safety related, but most of all we want to ensure that you have the most pleasant experience possible!
