Discover Scuba Diving -- Not certified but wanna play anyway? We can have you underwater in a matter of hours through our introduction to Scuba Diving program. Once we know you are comfortable in the pool then we schedule you for a dive trip- usually two dives with your own Instructor and you get to enjoy the same fantastic dive sites as the certified, experienced divers. We include lunch, drinks and snacks on the boat and transfer to and from your hotel. From $250. Reserve Online.

Night Dives from Shore -- The Provo night life is not so exciting on land, but below the surface it's an incredibly different story. Night Diving at Coral Gardens on the Bight Reef in Grace Bay can be a bit of a sensory overload, with no surface swim and fairly shallow water, it is a spectacular adventure. Step right in from the shore at dusk, when it is still light enough to see the change from day to night, see the daytime creatures tucking in and the nocturnal ones coming out of their daytime shelters. Grab a flash light, deflate your bcds and surrender to the night, turn off your lights underwater in the dark and watch the reflection of your lights in the eyes of the shrimp and crabs, reminiscent of the sky on a starry night. Great for all levels of experience especially for anyone new to diving – you are guaranteed to see plenty of diverse nightlife. It is a must! Maximum 4 people. From $75. Contact Us.

SNUBA - Go Beyond Snorkeling.... Snuba® was created for those who enjoy the simplicity of snorkeling and would like to experience the wonders of breathing underwater. Snuba is a unique, patented shallow water diving system, bridging the gap between snorkeling and scuba diving. Snuba® is safe and easy and does not require certification. Even if you have never snorkeled or have only basic swimming skills, Snuba diving is available for you. Snuba is easily accessible to couples, families, children eight years and older, and seniors. It is a great way for a certified diver to introduce non-certified partners to the underwater breathing experience. Snuba divers breathe underwater by means of a 20 foot air line which is connected to a standard scuba tank. The tank is mounted on a raft on the surface that follows your every movement. The airline allows you to tour underwater near the bottom, at mid-water or on the surface depending on your level of comfort. There is no heavy diving gear. Every Snuba tour is guided by a diving professional. Your guide will familiarize you with the Snuba equipment you will be using and briefly describe what you can expect in the water. You will start in shallow water and take whatever time necessary to get comfortable breathing underwater. Once comfortable, you are then taken on a guided underwater tour. During the dive you are never more than 20 feet from the security of the raft floating on the surface. You will get the feeling that you are swimming in an aquarium surrounded by tropical fish. The reefs we Snuba dive in have beautiful and abundant marine life. Dive into the underwater world and learn more about the wonderful world of Marine Life, but remember: Please respect our ocean by not touching, standing on coral or taking anything (except memories).
