Scuba Dogs is recognized as a PADI 5-Star Dive Center and stands as the sole certified operator equipped with a full range of diving gear, amenities like restrooms and showers, secure lockers, and a team of expert staff located directly at the Marine Park.

The scuba excursion on offer for those holding diving certifications is particularly OUTSTANDING due to it being a shallow water dive, not exceeding 30 feet in depth. This enables participants to safely enjoy the underwater experience without the worry of decompression sickness; practice essential diving techniques and achieve neutral buoyancy within the confines of a sheltered bay area; and come face-to-face with an eclectic mix of marine life including yellowtail snappers, damselfish, stingrays, and turtles. Moreover, the dive allows for the exploration of varied underwater terrains such as an age-old fish wall, an array of statues and roman columns, remnants of shipwrecks, and vibrant coral reef ecosystems.

Following an elaborate narrative regarding the site’s historical and environmental significance, participants go through a comprehensive theoretical briefing on diving science, coupled with preliminary skill exercises in the shallows near the shore. This precedes the guided tour throughout the bay, all while under the watchful eye of an experienced diving instructor.
