We attract a vast cross section of demographics from diverse ages and backgrounds and have had guests as young as 3 and as old as 82.  We attract working professionals, families, singles, couples, college groups, and retirees that come to our island!  You will find that people coming on this type of vacation all have a shared passion for diving and ocean conservation, which makes for great group dynamics.  We try to give the general diver a unique opportunity to learn about and help conserve the marine environment while having a fun vacation. Our trips are for both experienced and non-experienced divers, everyone contributes regardless of their background and experience. We accept non-diving guests and snorkelers and certify people wanting to become divers!  The research methodologies we teach are very simple and straight forward and you can learn all you need to know in our training session prior to the dive.  You will be spearing the invasive lionfish and participating in our other conservation dives and making a difference!
