The diving sites are
easily reached from our resort by boat.
There are about 20 nice diving sites close
to the resort.
A boat trip will take you in about 10 to 20
minutes to your dive spot.
Several diving sites are also easily reached
from the shore.
We prefer to dive with small groups.
We also take the level of each diver into
consideration.
One can dive the entire year because of the
convenient location and the temperature.
From the beach, one can go diving, swimming
and snorkeling.
You can also join other activities which are
organized on the beach from our resort.
