Deep diving allows you to dive to depths that are not normally considered safe for divers. This could be because of local authorities setting limits. You may also have the chance to visit some of the most stunning underwater environments in the world, like the Galapagos and Elphinstone Reefs. Read on to discover more about the various locations and conditions that make deep diving an incredibly special experience.
Elphinstone Reef
A liveaboard is the best way to experience Elphinstone Reef's underwater world. You can dive in this location backwards, so you'll have to be confident in your backward roll. When there are less people, you will have greater chances to see sharks and marine life. Also, tropical fish are more common. Additionally, you will have the chance to meet the resident Hawksbill turtle.
