What We Offer & What It Isn’t

Heads-up This experience is not a retreat and not an instructor-led certification course. We guide the ocean session — briefings, drop points, safety lines, positioning, and vessel support — while you freedive. A scuba + freedive combination day can be arranged when conditions and logistics allow.

  • Freediving — Blue-water drops with surface support and safety oversight.
  • Snorkeling with Tiger Sharks — For non-divers; confident swimming required. Mask, snorkel, fins provided; wetsuit recommended.
  • Scuba + Freedive Combo — One scuba session plus a freedive/snorkel session on the same day when feasible.
Conditions and animal presence vary. We may adjust timing or site selection for safety and the best possible experience.
