Day 1:
We will pick up the guests from the hotel at 12:30 in the afternoon. The guests will get their gear ready and have lunch on board. You will then be assigned your cabin and given a welcome/safety briefing before the vessel gets underway. The first dive is a check dive.
Days 2-6:
Shortly before each full moon, the twin-spot red snappers gather in the early morning in their thousands. The snappers come from the surrounding areas and gather over the reef. When the tide begins to change, the fish rush to the surface and explosively release sperm and eggs. On numerous occasions, we can observe large pelagic predatory fish such as bull sharks, silvertips, and oceanic blacktips, which see the schools of snappers as a welcome source of food.
Day 7:
This morning we will make the most of the last dives of our trip before returning to port in the afternoon.
Day 8:
Guests have breakfast at 7:00 AM and disembark the boat at 8:00 AM. We provide the transportation to the hotel or to the airport.
