What the Two‑Hour Private Dive Feels Like
Over two hours you and your group board from Hanging Rock Boat Ramp and run a short hop to a sheltered reef. Under the guidance of an experienced PADI Divemaster the outing is paced to your group's certification and interests: descent, reef time to inspect coral and marine life, then a controlled ascent and surface time with drinks before heading in or out for another dive.
