We will of course assist you wherever necessary.
Set it & Forget it Service for Certified DiversWe know that whilst you are on vacation your time is precious and you don't want to waste it washing and storing your equipment. As a full service Dive Centre, we take care of YOU and YOUR EQUIPMENT. We will dismantle your equipment, sanitise it and store it for you after each dive and set it up for you on the boat ready for your next dive. All you need to do is step off the boat, we call this "set it and forget it"!
