A standard day trip includes 3 guided dives, full equipment rental, boat transfer, breakfast (light), lunch, snacks, water, tea, and coffee. Park fees, dive insurance, Nitrox, and dive computer rental are typically separate.
First-time tip: Register with your dive centre the afternoon or evening before your dive day. This gives you time to complete paperwork, try on equipment, and meet your guide without rushing on the morning of your dive.
