Why Do Prices Differ So Much Between Operators?
You may see scuba diving in Malvan offered for much less. Before you book, check what you get.
- Time underwater. Some cheap trips are much shorter.
- Depth. Some stay very close to the surface.
- Instructor. Ask if one instructor stays with you the whole time.
- Extras. Ask if photos, gear and the boat ride cost extra.
A short, shallow dip and a full 35 to 40 minute dive are not the same thing.
Tips to Get the Most for Your Money
- Book the morning slot. The sea is usually calmer.
- Come between October and April. The water is clearest then.
- Book early for December and January. These are our best months.
- Bring your dive card if you have one. Then you can book fun dives instead.
Prices can change with group size and demand. All dives depend on the weather.
Book your dive or contact us with any questions.
