THE REEFS

Two distinct dive locations in one afternoon

Each trip visits two different dive sites, offering variety—from coral formations to deeper wall profiles—so every descent presents new terrain and marine encounters.

THE GUIDES

Small groups and personalized attention

Blue Note Scuba emphasizes personalized service and small group sizes; guides tailor site selection and the dive pace to the party’s skill level and daily conditions.

THE WILDLIFE

Abundant marine life and excellent visibility

Divers can expect to encounter schools of reef fish, sea turtles, eagle rays and the occasional nurse shark, with visibility that makes spotting small critters and reef detail rewarding.

What the day feels like

What the afternoon feels like

You meet at Marina Fonatur, board a short 10‑minute run to the reef, and complete two guided dives with a surface interval—during which lunch and snacks are served—before returning to the marina. The pace is compact but deliberate, designed to maximize bottom time while keeping group sizes manageable and attention on safety and reef stewardship.
