This beginner-friendly tour is perfect for first-time divers seeking a safe, hands-on, and unforgettable underwater experience.

Tour Description

Your journey starts with a 35–45 minute boat ride through the Pacific to Caño Island. Once there, you’ll complete two guided dives at different marine sites, selected from six official dive spots around the island.

Before your first dive, your instructor will walk you through all safety procedures and gear. You’ll practice basic skills at the surface before descending for your first real dive—always under close supervision.

Each dive lasts approximately 45 minutes. Between dives, you’ll take a surface interval, with time to relax, rehydrate, and enjoy the surroundings. After your final dive, the boat returns to Drake Bay, where a fresh lunch will be served.
