On the morning after your arrival, a dive shop orientation will be given where guests are assigned to a boat for the length of their stay.  Each boat is staffed by a divemaster and captain, which ensures that divers see a variety of dive sites throughout the week without repetition, and enables our staff to get to know each diver’s respective needs and abilities to better serve them. A briefing on diving procedures, how to sign-up for dives on the dive board and a required warm-up dive and equipment check will be given dockside prior to your first dive. 

Guests are required to fill out a release waiver prior to participating in Scuba diving activities.  You may download the waiver form below and fill out prior to your arrival or you may wait and do so upon check-in at the resort.
