Blackbird Dive Boat
Each day begins with an early breakfast, followed by two single-tank morning dives and a single-tank afternoon dive. Except for the Blue Hole Day & the Elbow dive, you’ll return to shore between each dive. The captain pilots the boat to you upon your ascent so there is no tiring swim back to the boat. The divemasters rinse your gear each evening and set it up for you after breakfast. No need to worry about it once you arrive on the island!
