Charter Basics
Diving and Snorkeling During Your Yacht Charter
Equipment on Board
Basic snorkel, mask and fin equipment should be available for every crew size — often already included with the charter boat or available as an inexpensive add-on.
Top Destinations for Snorkelers
The Blue Cave near Vis, the reefs off Phuket, and the Florida Reef off the Florida Keys rank among the most impressive spots.
Scuba Diving During Charter
Many charter bases arrange local dive centers for day excursions with scuba diving during your trip.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a dive certification for scuba diving during the charter?
Yes, scuba diving requires a recognized dive certification (e.g. PADI Open Water) — snorkeling, on the other hand, requires no certification at all.
