Once ready to take the dive, the diver would step onto the diving platform of the boat and slide through the opening at the top of the cage. The lid at the top is now securely closed. Once in position, the diver s head is only approx. A freeboard of approx. 30cm allows the diver to rise to the surface and communicate with the Dive Master on the boat, while the hatch remains securely closed.
Diving takes place on a rotational basis, with two divers down at a time.
We rarely have more than 6 divers on board at a time, ensuring maximum diving time. As we spend an average of 5 hrs at sea, it is possible to do more than one dive per day, on a good diving day. Even though this is a simple and shallow dive, you are in the company of a wild animal and will be making use of scuba equipment. Should you not be all that experienced and feel somewhat nervous, our Dive Master will accompany you down in the cage, upon request. Enquire about the 3 hr basic scuba diving courses we offer, which will teach you how to be confident and relaxed when taking the plunge down below.
