A typical expedition starts from either the north atoll or south still on the first dive day, and ends in the other atoll on the last dive day.
Some dive spots worth watching out for in the North Atoll are Shark Airport (for sharks), Malayan wreck (fish, parrotfishes, sharks), Seafan Wall (gorgonians and turtles), Wall street (fish and sharks), Amos Rock and Washing Machine.
In the South Atoll are Dalsan Wreck (sharks), Blackrock (hammerheads) and Staghorn point.
Jessie Beazley is another spot that may be visited if currents are permitting. It has the most diverse marine life among the reefs.
We do not recommend smoking especially during repetitive dives. But if you have to, please only do so on the upper deck.
We highly encourage our guests to keep the noise down after 10 PM. It will be long day tomorrow. You might as well get some rest yourself. Of course, libations are highly encouraged on your last night.
Always re-check your equipment, or ask your buddy to check them for you. Remember your mnemonics (BWRAF, BAR, SEABAG, GUE EDGE).
If in doubt, don’t go in.
Don’t enjoy showering too much. Leave some for everybody. Learn how to do navy shower.
Most of all enjoy!
