Tailored Dive Experiences for Every Family
At Scuba Elite, we really understand the unique challenges of planning a dive vacation for a family with varying interests and experience levels. (Yes, we’ve been there ourselves when travelling and diving abroad). Our mission is to make your trip seamless and enjoyable by offering only personalized dive packages that cater to each family member’s preferences.
Here’s how we make it easy for you:
1. Custom Dive Programs
Whether you have seasoned divers, curious beginners, or avid snorkelers in your family, we’ll create a program that suits everyone. Our dive instructors are skilled at guiding new divers through their first underwater experience, while our seasoned guides ensure certified divers have the adventure they’re looking for. And if snorkeling is more your style, we know the best spots on the island for a memorable day on the water. We can even synchronize the final training dives of an Open Water Diver course with a guided dive, allowing you to share in your family member’s milestone moments underwater! Just ask and tell us your ideal dive trip.
2. Family-Friendly Boat Charter Options
Want to keep the family together while enjoying different activities? We’ve got you covered. Our private charter allow some family members to dive while others snorkel from the same boat. This way, you can share the day’s adventures and still cater to everyone’s interests. It’s the perfect solution for families looking to bond while pursuing individual passions! This is one of our most-booked solutions.
3. Plan as far ahead as you wish
The last thing you want on vacation is to stress about arranging courses, collecting certification cards and other logistics. With Scuba Elite, you can plan your dive schedule ahead of time, so everything is ready when you arrive. We’ll work with you to create an itinerary that balances diving, snorkeling, and relaxation, ensuring your vacation is as enjoyable and hassle-free as possible.
4. Exclusive, Personalized (Dive) Attention
As a small dive operation, we’re dedicated to providing personalized service. Your family won’t just be another group to us – we’ll take the time to understand your needs and craft a dive experience that’s uniquely yours on forehand. But, also when the diving days are there. Do you wish to see a sea horse? Then we’re planning on dives with the highest changes if nature allows us. Do you like going up North? That’s up to you.
