Dive Trip Specifics

We want to make sure you enjoy trip. Forewarned is forearmed for travel, so our details also contain vital information including:

• Temperature range and recommended exposure suits - This way you can avoid the trauma of only having a 3 mm shortie for the cold currents of Komodo!

• Skill level suitability - Avoid being thrown into perilous, washing machine conditions when diving in Bali on your sixth open water dive!

• What each dive destination is great, and NOT so great, for - you could be lucky to see tawny nurse sharks at Burma Banks, but don't expect anything for the kids to do there!

• Recommended length of stay - Don't get stuck for 10 days in a two dive town - and don't get caught short in Lembeh Strait and spend just a day when you could, and should, be diving for a week.
