About this experience

To book in as licensed freediver you should be joined by a buddy, so you always have a safe apnea experience, since this freedive activity is not with private guide. You will have a briefing on board.

Our boats go out everyday for diving, freediving, snorkeling and Padi courses. High or low season, we make sure we offer you a nice relaxed trip.
For the regular daytrips the boats are planned either to local dive sites, including the spectacular HTMS Chang shipwreck or to Koh Rang National Park where we enjoy the clear waters and pristine coral reefs of this protected area. Both areas are suited for diving, freediving and snorkeling , making it possible for family and friends to have a day out together even when doing different activities. The boats have plenty of space making them comfortable for boatjoiners as well.
