Pick up times are scheduled 45 minutes prior to the dive time.
The dive times are 8:30am & 1:00pm.

For clients taking our Discover Scuba Diving Course or involved with other courses,
Pick up time may be as early as 6:45am.

The dive shop is the first stop: all divers must complete some simple paperwork. This is a PADI guideline. At this time we also get equipment sizing if it wasn’t taken on the reservation phone call.

Within a few minutes the divers will be on their way to the pier where the dive team will welcome them on the boat. All gear will be prepared and ready for the divers.
The first dive site is within 15 to 25 minutes. As we leave the pier the PADI CERTIFIED Dive Master or Instructor onboard will brief the divers as to where the dive site is and the expectations. Divers begin to suit up, and go down for their first dive.

Upon completion of the first dive the divers have fruits, juices & water during the surface interval, along with a fresh water shower.
Surface time is spent cruising the Manuel Antonio waters, visiting with the Dolphins & the Whales, as we cruise around the Park.

Within 30 to 45 minutes we are ready for dive #2 at a different dive site. Once again the divers will get a briefing from the Dive Master.

Upon completion of dive #2 the boat begins its return to the pier; transportation will be waiting for the clients. A brief stop at the dive shop for divers to complete log books, then back to your hotel.
