Diving around Pom Pom Island

Situated surrounded by 7 islands, we are ideally located for all keen divers to explore our sites and search for famous marine life including turtles and macro.

Our Diving Package

The Dive Package consists of 2 morning dives and 1 afternoon dive.

We leave after breakfast for the first two dives to one of the 7 nearby surrounding islands. Depending on weather and sea conditions we can sometimes visit the beaches and take our surface interval break enjoying a refreshing drink and snack. After the second dive, we return for lunch, and then in the afternoon we make our third dive at one of our Pom Pom Island dive sites.

Furthermore the diving package includes free self dives up to 6pm from our jetty. Using PADI’s buddy system, you will be able to observe the shy and spectacular Mandarin fish located near our jetty. If this is not enough to satisfy your diving needs, we can arrange for a small charge, exciting night dives ideal for passionate photographers to observe amazing macro life.
