# Diving & Snorkelling

Descend into another world

## What to Expect

From technicolour coral walls to ghostly wrecks, a charter yacht is the ultimate dive platform. Wake up anchored over a pristine reef, gear up on the swim platform, and drop into warm, clear water before the day boats arrive. Your yacht carries compressors, tanks, and often a dedicated dive tender - so you can log four or five dives a day without rushing back to shore.
