Match the activity to the person
Swimming confidence, interest in scuba and willingness to complete instruction matter more than the price difference. Tell us if one guest prefers the beach or if your party includes both divers and snorkelers. Confirm the mixed-group arrangements before choosing.
Compare the full day, not a label
Ask about activity time, beach time, transfer logistics and the diving plan if applicable. Neither option promises a particular visibility level or animal encounter. Private boat use changes the group format but still requires an agreed route and sea conditions that allow it.
