Scuba Diving

A diver’s ultimate get-away with 18 reefs to choose from, including wall dives from 6m to 27m, coral reefs and various bommies/attols. You can explore several extremely worthwhile bommies/atolls within spitting distance of the resort, and others in fairly close proximity. For the more advanced divers, there are a number of exciting dives with the guaranteed sighting of several rare fish species.

For more information on the reefs see our dive map , dive site descriptions(link coming soon) and a look at our boats. Safety comes first when diving at Situ Island, so please ensure you have dive insurance – click here for more info.

How It Works

Masks are typically much lower volume than dive masks, more similar to swim goggles. Fins are much longer than dive fins, and monofins, where both feet are in the same fin, are sometimes used. Unlike snorkeling and skin diving, the main goal is to spend as much time underwater as possible. And time in the surface is only meant to re-oxygenate the body between dives. A snorkel is often not used. In very much layman’s terms, you could say that snorkeling is surface only, free diving strives to underwater only (or at least as much as possible), while skin diving mix the two. Participants in all three activities may not like this definition, but it can help others distinguish between them.

Also, a number of marine animals are easier to see and get close to when we don’t exhale bubbles, including whale sharks and dolphins. When traveling, it allows us to take a look below the waterline without having to bring or rent a lot of gear. For rescue scenarios, we don’t always have the luxury of dive gear and may need to assist a diver using only our fins, mask and snorkel. Snorkeling is very useful when taking non-divers out to experience the underwater world.
