Snorkeling & Diving

Snorkelling (included in your day)
Our crew is trained to provide a safe and enjoyable snorkelling experience, guiding you to the best spots and briefing you on the reef's biology and history. We offer snorkelling equipment and flotation devices, along with in-water assistance. However, we recommend that you have a basic ability to swim and a decent fitness level, as snorkelling can be physically demanding.

Diving at Poseidon
No matter if you are a seasoned or novice diver, Poseidon offers an unparalleled diving experience. With a variety of over 30 different reef locations, we select the three best sites daily based on weather and tidal conditions. All dives are guided, and we also provide dedicated dive tenders for drift dives. 

Introductory Diving
If you're a first-time diver, our qualified instructors will guide you through every step of your underwater adventure. Small group sizes ensure personal attention and maximum safety. After the necessary paperwork and on-board tuition, gear up to explore three different reef environments, or choose to spend part of your day diving and the rest snorkelling.
