Why You Will Love Diving with Indigo Scuba…
We go the extra mile
Tired of diving the same old dive sites all the time? Come to Indigo Scuba – we will go the extra mile to take you to new and exciting dive sites.
We aim to find the best possible conditions and dive sites on the day.
There will always be an experienced Dive Master or Instructor to assist you on the boat.
Do you like to swim slowly or take photos?
One of us will always be in the water taking photos and you are welcome to join us. We’ll show you the best critters on the reef and help you find those that are positioned properly for your photos so that you don’t damage the reef to get the best angle.
Do you have to dive with our DMs?
Experienced divers can dive unaccompanied by us, subject to the following safety precautions for their own benefit:
- Have a dive buddy;
- Have an SMB (and must be able to deploy it at the end of the dive before they surface);
- Dive time is a maximum 60 minutes per dive in order to be considerate of the other divers on the boat (we know some of our customers can dive much longer than 60 min)
- Always stay within your dive time limits (dive tables / dive computer)
- Always start your ascent with sufficient air in your tank (no less than 50 bar depending on depth)
We want you to relax and enjoy your dives with us at Indigo Scuba!
