Private Guides, Specialty Courses & Refreshers

 

Want a truly unique diving experience? Try diving with a private guide and focus on what you want to. A private guide can allow a nervous or rusty diver to feel more confident. It can give a photographer a chance to set the dive up as a macro dive or go for specific shots. It can also just allow for an exclusive dive experience with your own underwater pro.

 

Hire a Private Guide $325 to $425

(Per Dive Trip)

Want someone to join you and your guide? They will pay as a regularly priced diver and you can invite them in your group.
