You are already a certified diver and just want to dive, you came to the right spot. We are a busy dive shop offering backpacker style diving, at backpacker prices. We pride ourselves on our high standards, and between us we have over 40 years experience diving the local reefs!
CANCELLATION POLICY – Please note that when signing up for dives that we will keep that space for you and will therefore need to charge you for those dives, unless cancelled 24 hours in advance. This includes no shows for any reason, including sickness etc.
For guests of Yemaya Reefs we will unfortunately have to ask for payment in advance at the time of booking, as we have experienced very high no show and late cancellation rates, maybe due it being slightly further away.

Equipment
We do not charge for equipment usage so are happy to provide equipment if you do not have or do not want to bring your own. We use budget style rental BCDs, regulators etc. and adhere to the “small bubbles, no troubles” motto. Also we use full foot warm water fins (a small selection of open heel & booties), and short wetsuits in either 2 or 3 mm, so if you feel the cold you may prefer to bring your own.

We recommend you carry adequate insurance to cover you for such eventualities.

Dives cancelled less than 24 hours before the dive will still need to be paid for, whatever the reason, including sickness etc.
