Question & Answer


Q1 What dive sites will arrange? Can I choose a dive site myself?

AnswerThere are a lots of dive sites around Tulamben. We will choose the most suitable dive site according to the sea conditions and tides of the day. We have experienced captains and dive guides, and we know very well which dive sites are best when they go. So just believe our choice.

Q2 I have a diving certificate but my friend only participates in Discovery Scuba Diving, can we dive together?

Answer:If you read above, you will find that the schedule of Fun Dive and Discovery Scuba Diving is different in the morning. If you want to dive with your DSD friends, you can arrange this dive in the afternoon. If you want to dive together all day, you can only give up the first dive in the morning. Another thing to note is that the maximum depth of the DSD is 12 meters, so if you want to dive together, you need to follow this maximum depth.

Q3 My family members don't dive.  What can they do at the resort?

Answer:Non-diving guests  can follow the tiled path to visit the colorful fenced villages; Enjoy the special spa in the resort; Swimmers can snorkel in front of the resort or shuttle the mangroves by kayak.
