About Scuba Diving Consultation & Guided Experiences
Why I Dive
Diving is more than just a sport for me. It’s that quiet, weightless feeling when you slip under the water and everything else fades away. I always say, “Dance with the waves, move with the sea.” If you’ve ever felt that urge - illi illadeneno alli siguva bayake (the itch to find something out there you can’t get here) - you’ll get what I mean.
Picking the Right Dive
Not all dives are the same, especially at places like Netrani Island. Cheap deals usually mean shortcuts. I’m all about a pakka (proper) experience. Here’s what I look for:
- At least 20-30 minutes underwater, not a rushed 5-minute dip
- Certified guides only
- Clean boats, not packed like a bus, with first aid ready
- Staff who actually care and make you feel chill
- Proper training before you hit the water
What I Offer
- Scuba consultation: I help you cut through the confusion and pick a safe, quality dive center. Especially useful for Netrani Island scuba tips.
- Guided underwater tours: Dive with me, whether you’re a total newbie or already certified. I handle the planning and make sure you get a safe beginner scuba diving experience.
The Netrani Island Scene
This is my main spot. We’ll look for honeycomb moray eels, parrotfish (they make the sand!), lionfish (pretty but keep your distance), nudibranchs, and wild coral. It’s not just sightseeing - it’s meeting the locals.
Getting Ready
No shortcuts. I believe in solid prep, sometimes even practicing in a quarry first. I make hand-drawn maps and give a full scuba dive site briefing before every trip. You’ll know the route, the depths, and what to expect. Safety first, always.
