Beginners should practice with instructors before venturing out. Always wear fins to avoid coral cuts. Safety first—request a guide if unsure. 🏖️ Other Activities A sunset cruise is included for stays of 4+ nights. The dive center has a gym, billiards, ping-pong, tennis, and cards. Try sunset yoga, coral planting, marine life talks, or reef conservation—tailor your experience! 🙋 Service Chinese-speaking staff are usually at the front desk after 2 PM, though English is the main language.

It may not suit first-timers craving overwater villas or those less keen on marine adventures.
