Scuba Dogs is a PADI 5-Star Dive Center; the only official operator with all gear, restrooms, showers, lockers and professional staff right there at the Marine Park.
In particular, the Discover Scuba activity is uniquely AMAZING in the sense that you get to float completely weightless, break all the rules of nature breathing comfortably underwater, and come in direct contact with a great abundance of marine life.
After a colorful description of the historic and ecological value of this epic site, a professional theory review on the science of diving, and basic skills training in the shallow part of the shoreline, you'll be exploring the entire bay safely under the direct supervision of a dive professional.

5.00Dale and Anthony were absolutely amazing and so patient! It was my husband and my first dive and I ended up being way more anxious than anticipated. Anthony once came up to check on me and helped me through a slight panic moment and Dale literally held my hand the entire time, checking every step of the way to make sure I was okay. Would 100000% do again because of the amazing instructors
