Some recreational dive trips can involve more difficult dives with faster currents and deeper sites. Maduro Dive offers unique dives around the world, and we partner with resorts and certified dive operators in over 79 destinations in 40 countries. Here is some information on how to prepare for more advanced diving adventures:
Choosing a Location Based on Diving Options
When planning dive trips, look for a location that offers the advanced diving experiences that you are looking for. Our travel agents are experienced divers themselves, enabling us to create packages that cater to destinations and underwater terrain tailored to your skill levels. You can choose to go to destinations that offer underwater caves and lava tubes, shipwrecks, and coral reefs.
The Riviera Maya in Mexico features freshwater cenotes; the Angelita cenote presents an additional challenge for experienced divers, with a sulfur cloud at a depth of 90 feet. Divers staying at Wyndham Reef Resort have the opportunity to go on two-tank boat dives to explore underwater arches and canyons. For underwater photography opportunities, look for countries with clear water and unique marine life.
Booking a Dive Resort or Liveaboard
Booking a dive resort or a liveaboard offers access to additional diving opportunities. Some dive resorts offer truck rentals or custom-designed boats for dive drop-offs, providing options for morning, afternoon, and night dives. Captain Don’s Habitat on Bonaire provides 24/7 diving access.
With a liveaboard, you can stay on a yacht while traveling to dive sites that may be inaccessible otherwise, such as the Tubbataha Reefs Natural Park in the Philippines. The Mike Ball Spoilsport Dive liveaboard in Australia offers 26 dive trips in seven days to explore sites in the Coral Sea, including Osprey Reef. This liveaboard also provides dive computer workshops, a reef ecology program, and opportunities to assist in minke whale research.
Some dive resorts, such as Iberostar in Cozumel, Mexico, offer TDI scuba certification and courses, allowing you to receive additional training before embarking on more advanced dives. Plaza Beach & Dive Resort provides specialty dive courses. If you need to rent or buy scuba diving equipment, look for a resort that provides an on-site dive shop. Resort locations in Bonaire and Fiji offer full-service shops, which often include Nitrox access, as well as access to some of the world’s most unique diving experiences.
Working With Dive Operators
To stay safe during your diving experiences, work with professional dive operators. They can answer questions before your dive, review safety tips, and perform checks of your gear. Ask about new diving techniques or technology to utilize them appropriately. Maduro Dive offers packages that include guided tours of various underwater sites. This includes shipwrecks, allowing you to explore more challenging sites safely.
