Itineraries
Dive itineraries include the iconic Brother Islands, Daedalus, Elphinstone, and the southern Fury Shoals and St. Johns. Daedalus boasts a vibrant reef with potential for strong currents and diverse marine life, including the chance to encounter hammerheads. Elphinstone is celebrated for its vast coral diversity and marine inhabitants like tuna and reef sharks. Brother Islands offer both stunning coral reefs and intriguing wreck dives with the Aida and Numidia. The southern routes are famed for frequent hammerhead sightings, offering a unique diving experience.
