No more than 8 people no longer than 7 days. Not a live aboard experience but intent is to have two boat dives per day, depending on availability. Ideal for open water certified divers and underwater photographers who are keen to see turtles, squid, rays and a variety of coral life. This is not a shark adventure nor is it meant to be the type of trip where you dive three or four times a day. Lodging will be within walking distance to downtown. Delightful and casual dining is planned as well as the opportunity to learn more about the island. Contact louis@dessauinternational for prices and availability!
