Itineraries

This area is nestled by numerous fish of the open oceans, usual predators like sharks, tuna, sailfish, giant jacks, etc.
When to Go
A good season for North itineraries is from April to November. In May and June, you will have higher chances to see mantas and whale sharks, but the visibility will be a bit worse due to the plankton. From June to August, you can see the big fish and big schools of pelagic fish. The best time to dive at Central dive sites, Brother Islands and all Southern itineraries are spring (late March to May) or fall (September to November). From June to September, you will need to go deeper to see the big fish

Highly recommended Verified review
Divemasters were friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. We were with Kareem and he was the perfect fit for us. Camera strap broke as I was coming up the ladder on a night dive and it sank. Kareem spent a long time searching for it and brought it back to me! Thanks for saving my memories! The crew were over the top helpful, ready to assist at any time. Food was delicious! Boat was in a good shape, always had hot water for showers after a chilly dive. Our first liveaboard was an adjustment, but Discovery Divers was a great choice for our first time!

Marketing communication unclear Verified review
Wetsuit for rental too thin for season. No extra suit on board. Freezing is no fun...
If you take "full" équipement option, be aware it does not include boots, torche, computer... Which will cost you 70€. "full" means "half full"
40% of dive are below 18m. It is not anecdotic. If you are Open water Padi, you must take advanced course, otherwise, you will miss 40% of the trip...
