Lage:
Die Tauchbasis liegt auf einem Campingplatz. Wer dort wohnt, kann einfach zu Fuß zur Basis laufen, alternativ kann direkt an der Basis geparkt werden.
Die Tauchbasis liegt fußläufig zum Ablegesteg. Die Ausrüstung wird an der Basis aufgebaut und mit Rollwagen zum Wasser gefahren. Von dort werden alle Tauchplatz außer dem Hausriff mit dem Zodiac angefahren.
Kleiner Tipp: Bei langen Fahrten oder starkem Wellengang besser hinten beim Kapitän sitzen 🙂
Uns hat die Basis super gefallen und wir können Sie nur jedem weiter empfehlen.
Ein großes Lob geht an das tolle Team bestehend aus Laura, Berto, Thomas, den zwei tollen Kapitänen und Robi mit seiner Frau, die unsere Tauchtage so schön gemacht haben.

The briefings given are informative, the dive sites are varied and interesting (our favourite was the four tunnels), and there never seemed to be any rush. Each of the dives from the boat were in excess of 50 minutes, and the pace under the water was very mellow.
As the dive centre is located in the campsite, and as there is a generous break between the dives, means that you can grab a drink or snack very easily.
We're hoping to return next year and see if we can spot the elusive seahorse!
