Boat diving is very different from shore diving. You can dive from the boat and explore the underwater treasures with the help of an underwater breathing apparatus (scuba), which is completely independent of surface supply, to breathe underwater. This activity is conducted under the supervision of a professional certified Divemaster who accompanies every participant independently.
