Overview

Scuba diving in Balandra is a rare opportunity. Balandra is a protected area with very limited access, making its reefs healthier, quieter, and more pristine.

This experience is completely private and personalized, at your own pace with the full attention of your guide. You’ll be diving in less-traveled, low-impact zones, surrounded by coral formations, reef fish, and calm, turquoise waters—ideal for enjoying long bottom times and perfect visibility.

What makes it even more special is the surface experience: relaxing on the shore of the world-famous Balandra Beach, where the iconic mushroom rock and white sand offer the perfect setting for your lunch break.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Q: How soon can I fly in an airplane after Scuba diving?

    A: Participants in the Balandra Private Scuba Diving cannot fly in an airplane within 24 hours of their dive. The main concern with scuba diving and flying is decompression sickness (DCS). Your body needs adequate time during an ascent to off-gas excess nitrogen, or you can form bubbles in your bloodstream, possibly leading to DCS. Read more Jun 2024
