Try scuba - experience the adventure without doing a full dive course. This introductory dive is a highly supervised, guided scuba dive under the direct supervision of a diving instructor... You'll start with a 30-45 minute dry briefing on basic diving concepts and scuba skills. This will be followed by a safe dive on a section of the reef. Your dive will only take you as deep as 12 metres (40 feet) and your diving group will be limited to 4 or less. Generally your dive will last approximately 30 minutes, and during that time the instructor will be with you at all times... and if you want, will even hold your hand. Because most marine life is found in the shallower reef waters and coral color is most vivid closer to the surface you will experience the reef at its best... you might even become addicted.
