everyone can enjoy snorkeling on coral reefs closeby.

to reach some of the most interesting dive spots, Cat Island have to offer. There is modern,
reliable Scubapro equipment for rent at the diveshop. But it is recommended to bring your own ABC-gear
and a wetsuit for the cooler winter months. The maintence of the equipment
and the filling of the tanks are in hands of professional instructors with international certificates.

and dropping off to 3000ft. around Cat Island’s South shore.
A lot of the divesites are not often visited and there is only the occasional liveaboard in our divingarea.

Encounters with turtles, rays, sharks, murray eels, dolphins and all kinds of reef fishes are common every day
in our crystal clear waters. There is also a inland blue hole near the resort,
which can be visited by snorklers or dived by experienced divers only.
