Hideaway
Island has a reputation for being a relaxed paradise for divers and
snorkelers alike. Where else in the world can you roll out of bed and be
SCUBA diving in less than 15 minutes and for snorkelers even less. The
resort have
more than 15 dive sites all within 15 minutes of the shore. They run
scheduled single tank dives at 8:30am, 10:30am and 2:00pm every day,
regardless of the number of divers going out. Your surface interval can
then be spent just relaxing on the beach.

Many of
the dive sites also make for excellent snorkeling, so feel free to join a
dive group or the snorkel tour that leaves the island just after noon each
day.
The
experienced and friendly dive team will make sure you
see the best of what we have to offer. The sites are all teeming with life
ranging from sponges and hard corals, to anemones, gorgonian fans, and a
host of fish. The sites themselves offer a range of styles - from right
off the shore for great snorkelling or night diving, to steep walls
dropping off to 97 meters, and caves formed by lava flows. After more than
12 years living in a marine sanctuary, the fine array of finned creatures
that inhabit the sites have no fear of either divers or snorkelers.
One of the
newest additions to our dive sites is the wreck of the MV Aloara, sunk on
9 November 2001 close to Hideaway.
