Diving & snorkelling Experiences

Diving & snorkelling experiences

The world beneath the waves is one of kaleidoscopic creatures gliding through the clear blue, curious fish darting between reefs, and blissful, beautiful silence. Whether you're floating gently with a snorkel or heading deeper with tanks strapped on, the oceans (and lakes!) of our planet have plenty of stories to tell. Think freshwater magic in Lake Malawi, technicolour reefs in Indonesia, or the volcanic underwater drama of the Galapagos. No experience necessary – just bring your sense of awe.

Snorkel amongst the shoals in Mauritius

As Africa's original island darling, Mauritius has become synonymous with velvety sands that melt into sky-blue water, and snorkelling is one of the best ways to enjoy it. Below the surface, there is over 200 types of coral in bright hues and amazing formations, which is home to an array of colourful marine life. The waters of Mauritius are home to over 430 species, but the best time to spot sea turtles is between November and March. Apart from hurricane season (Jan - Feb), the conditions are sublime with outstanding visibility, especially between March and April.

Snorkel with endemic fish in Lake Malawi

Float above thousands of colourful fish in Africa’s great Lake Malawi. This huge body of freshwater hosts perhaps the largest number of fish species of any lake in Africa. Due to the Lake’s high alkalinity, it also has an amazingly high proportion of endemic brightly-coloured fish. This makes for an amazing snorkelling experience in the clear, turquoise water beside your lodge. There are also few plants and organic material in the lake, which makes for amazing visibility above the sandy and rocky bottom. Dive into the waters and get lost in this gin-clear paradise, as you search out new species of fish, or just sink to the floor and let your body float up to the surface as all your troubles melt away.
