Twelve cabins, a sundeck jacuzzi, and a seven-night itinerary built around manta cleaning stations.

Our team has stayed here, eaten here, and dived from here. We negotiate rates directly with the property and tailor the trip around what you actually want, not what fits a packaged itinerary.

This itinerary is a starting point. We will rework it around your dates, dive levels, and the rhythm you want for your trip.

They thought of everything

Down to a hand-written welcome note from Jailam waiting in the room. Made my wife cry. Already planning the next trip with them.

Surf trip exceeded expectations

Coke's fired on three of seven mornings, Chickens worked the rest. Boat captain Adam was the best guide we have had anywhere.

Family of four — all happy

The kids club kept the 7 and 9-year-old engaged from breakfast to dinner. We had time to dive. Win-win.
