Meet your English-speaking guide at White Beach, ride a speedboat to the activity platform, and walk about 10 feet below the surface in a clear, air-filled helmet. Certified PADI instructors guide you beside coral reefs and colorful fish, while a photographer records your visit and uploads photos and video to your phone.

“It was first time helmet diving, instructions were good and the divers were helpful. You're ears do pop going down but that's normal and the diver checked on you while going down. They took lots of pictures and were able to download it straight to our phones there. It was cool seeing the fish and coral, and feeding the fish out of our hands. Would def do again.”
