# Small-Group Shark and Turtle Dive for Certified Divers

**Guidekin's take:** Dive around an old pier turned reef, looking for turtles and camouflaged frogfish among corals and sponges. Scuba gear is included; certification and the ability to carry your own equipment in and out of the water are required. 4.96 from 263 reviews at €124 per person for 2h 30m.

In our comparison: #5 of 16 in Scuba Diving, by rating weighted by review volume (table below).

## Overview

You enter the water and, after a short surface swim, descend on a condemned pier that has transformed into a vibrant reef. Schools of fish surround the wreckage that has accumulated colorful corals and sponges.

Turtles swim all around in organized chaos as you search for camouflaged frogfish, making it hard to decide where to look. You follow your instructor as they lead you through the obstacle course of the wreck, swimming under and through the old dock where you spot a pregnant reef shark resting under a section of cement and pause to admire her beauty. As you make your way back to your starting point you focus on the multitude of turtles that gracefully soar through the clear water.

**Pickup:** No hotel pickup: everyone meets at the start point
