Frequently asked questions
- Wrecks or reef?
- Both — a two-tank charter typically pairs a wreck with a reef drift.
- When for best conditions?
- May–September for warm water; winter for lemon sharks and clearer viz.
- Is it beginner-friendly?
- The reefs are, but drift + current means Advanced Open Water is recommended.
