Diving: Scuba Diving with TOPdive
  • Tip Rating:
  • I did a total of 8 dives with them, and every one of them were excellent experience! The staff take really good care of you while you are on the trip with them. They usually have 2 dives in the morning and 1 in the afternoon depending on the weather. They usually break people up in a small group (3-5), and each group is lead by a guide (I believe all guides are instructors.) A video cameraman may come along on some of the trips. The DVDs from your dive trips are available for purchase.

    The water was really great with 100ft visibility in most areas. Lots of things to see. I saw sharks, turtles, rays, etc. etc. really interesting. The currant can be very strong in some area. It's perfect for a drift dive, but if you want to go after shark or turtle to take photos or to pet (lol), be careful of how much air you suck in to swim after them against the currant.

    You should always bring at least your own mask, fins, and snorkel, but they have everything for rental if you need them. I had a skin with 3mm shorty, but more for the protection than to keep me warm. In early April, the water was pretty warm already.

    Diving: Shark Feeding
  • Tip Rating:
  • From the very first dive as we went down into the water, the sharks were everywhere! It turned out that the local divers feed them, and the sharks come to the boat as soon as they here it's coming. I know, some people freak out when they see sharks, but it's really fine. They were only interested in fish that local divers were giving, and don't even pay attention to you unless you provoke them. Some really come close to you. One time I thought I could pet them. :D

    Diving: First-time Scuba Diver
  • Tip Rating:
  • If you have never gone scuba diving before, this is the place to try it. The water is so clear and the sea life is amazing. Actually you don't have to go very deep to experience the sea life.2

    The equipment was provided by the tour operator, including wetsuit, tank, everything.
