The Small Print

Packages are for boat or beach dives to standard dive sites in Speyside only.
Packages do not include dives to South Atlantic, Southern Caribbean or Sisters. See surcharges.
Packages are per person and may not be shared.
Tanks, weights and light refreshments are included.
Secondary dive lights included for night dives.
Course prices include certification and all materials unless stated.

Speyside, Northeast Caribbean, Northwest Caribbean, Crown Point and Southwest Atlantic. Each area has numerous dive sites and its own special appeal. For divers who wish to take advantage of my island wide diving experience a multi dive package with added excursions will allow you to make dives around all the areas and so get a taste of the variety the diving in Tobago. These excursion fees are simply added to the basic package price. Please read my information on standard and exclusive dive sites

Exclusive Dives

For experienced inquisitive divers who wish to explore the infrequently dived or otherwise unknown uncharted reefs off the Northeast Caribbean and Atlantic coasts where sweeping currents bring in Big Fish. Exclusive dives are only possible when weather and sea conditions permit. Please read my information on standard and exclusive dive sites.

Night Dives

Corals may be seen spawning and bioluminescence are abundant glowing with every fin kick. An interesting light show! For night dives I wait until it’s good and dark and everything on the night shift is out and about and not still sleeping. Fish, normally afraid in bright sunlight will allow us to get close, and your divelight will pick up the true vibrant colors of corals, predators such as moray eels, octopus and sharks patrol over the reef looking to feed. Night dives can be made from shore or boat. Back up torches are included for night dives.

Equipment Rental

I have both men’s and women’s BCD’s, Masks and Shorty wetsuits in XS, S, M, L & XL. A wide range of sizes of fullfoot fins and regulators. All my clients are provided with emergency surface markers. I have a limited number of dive computers and underwater cameras for rental. Complete equipment sets are available at $30.00 per set per day. I do not rent booties or open fins.

Professional Photography Service

I have lots of experience working with professional underwater photographers and offer a special service for professional underwater photographers / videographers who intend to dive Tobago either as an assignment or for general stock photography. Pro Photo Packages include tanks for yourself and your model. Within air and NDL safety limitations dive times are extended to allow you to get as much film/footage as possible. If you have two cameras and housings then I will carry any secondary camera for you enabling you to switch from macro to wide angle on one dive, this also leaves your model free to act as spotter and pose for shots. Price is on application advanced booking required.

VIP Service

For those who would like a luxury dive vacation I offer a VIP service. My VIP Packages include Private villa, airport pick up and transfer to your private villa. Vehicle and driver for pick up and drop off to the dive boat, personal chef, masseuse, up to three dives daily and all dive equipment. Discretion is assured. Price is on application advanced booking required.
