What To Expect
Certified diver trips begin with an introduction to our facility and team, followed by a dive briefing covering all aspects of the trip.
After the dive briefing we board the boat, and elaborate on specific points regarding equipment for divers using our rental equipment, before a short boat ride to the dive site.
The boat ride is an experience in itself, with so much to see from the water, giving you another viewpoint to admire this beautiful Island.
Upon arrival at the first dive site, divers kit up, and complete a pre-dive safety check, before entering the water.
The cylinder type is aluminum S80 (11.2 litre) with a starting pressure of 3000 Psi (207 Bar); dive times are set at one hour, or a minimum end/surface pressure of 500 Psi (35 Bar).
A divemaster, with extensive knowledge of the local underwater realm, guides all dives, and they will show you the beautiful marine life that Antigua has to offer. Take note, we have a strict no-touch, no-take, no-feeding policy.
*Important* we require all certified divers who have not been diving for a period of two years or more to complete a refresher dive before joining our certified diver trips.
