Around Pom Pom
Reef, Turtles & Macro Life
Diving around Pom Pom brings guests into coral habitats shared by reef fish, sea turtles and smaller marine life, with boat access and guidance from the dive team.
First Experiences
Learn to Dive
The first time you breathe underwater opens a door to a different environment. It can feel daunting at first, but patient instructors help new divers become comfortable and enjoy the experience.
Guests who have never tried scuba diving can begin with a Discover Scuba Dive accompanied by a qualified PADI Dive Instructor.
PADI Scuba Diver training can take two or three days, while Open Water Diver training can take four or five days. Course timing and availability should be confirmed when planning a stay.
