A briefing will precede each dive and the managers will outline the type of dive, what you can expect to see, and recommendations regarding current, depth, and activities. Dives are made from 2 aluminium skiffs. Once in the water, divers are tracked by their bubbles and can be picked up and shuttled back to the boat almost the moment they reach the surface. This eliminates long swims, current fighting, and sitting in the hot sun while waiting for other divers to surface. An evening briefing usually outlines the plans for the next day’s diving.
Meals are always important when you are diving and the galley staff will not disappoint you, producing quality, tasty meals and snacks. 3 hearty meals are served buffet style each day, and snacks are available between dives. Breakfast includes cereals, fruits, milk, juice, toast and spreads, and oatmeal, plus hot options such as scramble eggs, bacon, omellete, sausages, or pancakes and muffins.

There are desserts every day for those with a sweet tooth. The chefs can assist with dietary requirements, with advanced notice. The ship has a bar with basic service including spirits, beer and wine. Soft drinks are also available.
You will visit at least one village to see traditional life, singing and dancing. The crew regularly purchase fruit and vegetables from the villagers in their canoes that come to the boat. There are also 2 kayaks for guests to use and, if you are keen, you can try in a local dug-out canoe. If you like fishing, the crew will gladly take you out for some early morning or evening hand-lining for tuna - plan on having your catch for sashimi that evening!
