Day 1: 
Once onboard, there will be a safety briefing, crew introduction, complete and check dive paperwork, cabin allocation, and boat orientation. Our boats moor in the port on arrival day, departing early the next morning. The first dive is a check dive near the port.

Days 2-10:
Visiting places such as the Russell Islands, the Florida Islands, Mary Island, and Marovo Lagoon, you will be immersed in so many sensory experiences, from breathtakingly beautiful corals to fascinating war relics, cave dives, and jungle-covered dives with marine life ranging from the massive to the macro.

You can dive Kicha—where friendly batfish follow divers around while giant bumphead parrotfish chomp on coral—all the time hearing the sounds of underwater volcano Kavachi.

There is Karumolun Point, where the local chief has banned all fishing for years, creating a protected marine area that will blow your mind with the variety of life and its beauty all around.

And, of course, there’s Mary Island. This is the place often referred to as the ‘best dive of a trip’ where we often stay all day to enjoy the schools of fish, sharks, turtles, and bumphead parrotfish. 

Day 11: 
On the last diving day, 2-3 dives are available in the morning whilst observing the rule of no diving within 24 hours of reaching altitude. The final evening is a drinks and gala dinner night with bills settled the following morning from 6:30am with departure at 8am. 

Day 12: 
Depart for the airport or hotel.
