What to expect

Check-in at Aqua Marine Dive CENTER (at Saga Haven Marina) 30 MIN before the start of your excursion for gear fitting and completion of needed paperwork.
Before leaving the dock, the Captain gives a safety briefing after which you can relax while you're instructor shows you skills and explains diver safety and basics for the 15 to 30 minute ride to the first dive site. Once there, you will get in the water with one of our highly qualified instructors to practice some learned skills and get comfortable breathing through the regulator. Then it's dive time with your instructor by your side! You'll see tropical fish, coral reef, and probably even turtles and rays. After dive #1, enjoy snacks and ask your instructor any questions on your way to site #2 where you can snorkel or, upon agreement between you and your instructor, upgrade your scuba experience, to do a second dive.
