Trip price is $145 - and well worth it!!
TUSA Dive can provide you a lot of extras which other shops don't even bother offering:
Underwater video of the day's diving $ 65.00
Guided dives (per dive) $ 15.00
Underwater camera hire $ 50.00
Comprehensive Scuba Diving Insurance $ 11.00 per day
Diving with Tusa Dive Centre is a dream. It's a far superior operation from the liveaboard we spent 3 days on.
The van picks you up, takes you to the dive shop to fill out the mandatory "I won't sue you if I die" forms. While you are completing the forms, your gear and tanks are being transported to the boat. Then they come back, get the divers (who have now been briefed) and head off to the boat.
Thomas & Dagmar partner with us for the day – we head off the boat together for both dives and see a lot of great fish and experience VERY tight swim-through opportunities (caves which have openings in the top) – often my tank scrapes along the rocks/coral as I make my way through the cave.
Lunch is included and is a sumptuous meal. Cold meats, a variety of breads and salads, cold drinks are available (throughout the day for a small charge - $1), and fruit platters are brought out and the feast is on. This takes place after the first dive.
After lunch, we have the opportunity to snorkel at our location and see a GIANT parrotfish – approximately 5 feet long!! This is the best snorkeling of my life!!
The boat moves, another dive, and then it's back to shore -- again, the van takes us to the hotel.
This was an excellent day -- one which I would repeat with little urging.
I understand that TUSA now has liveaboard abilities - the photos look great and I would recommend giving this shop a try!! I know I will next time (or Mike Ball if I win the lottery!!)
