Top tips

Diving here is best enjoyed by experienced guests - strong currents and unpredictable conditions are a part of the fun!
Pack plenty of extras like batteries and sunscreen, as shopping is non-existant in these remote regions.
If you're hoping to see manta rays, plan your trip during a full moon, when powerful currents will up your odds.
