This is a one-week trip, where parents and children will live together on the boat and share their passion for diving or discover it !
Itinerary South with the reefs of St John’s and Fury Shoals, lovely places for diving for the children, departure of the boat from Port Ghalib.
Parents dive early in the morning while the children are still sleeping and then get together for breakfast. The 2nd dive is accessible to all levels, then lunch. Activities are proposed during the afternoon before the 3rd dive of the day such as: buoy and other water games, painting, snorkeling, jump from the boat and more.
