Fab Safaris caters for all levels of scuba divers. For those who have never dived before Grenada is a fantastic place to learn - why learn in a pool when you can learn off a beach. For those more experieced you will enjoy the diversity of marine life in the Caribbean.

The water temperature usually ranges between 24 and 30 degrees Celsius in the areas that we operate in. We recommend a 3mm wetsuit for use on the expedition. Whether you use a short or a long wetsuit is entirely up to you, however people at the site during the austral winter usually prefer long suits (while for those attending during the austral summer a shorty is normally sufficient). Depending on the weather, conditions, and time of year, underwater visibility generally varies between 10 and 30m. Depending on local weather and sea conditions, you should be able to complete on average one dive per day. However this is only a guide, and depends on local conditions. Often you will be able to carry out two dives.

Scuba Diving Courses are at an extra cost as detailed below. All students must buy their own open water book and DVD etc as we will not supply. It is recommended to have completed the knowledge reviews sections in the books prior to departure.

Course fees include Full Scuba Kit Rental. This includes BCD and regulator, weights and tanks but excludes wetsuits, fins, masks and snorkel. We do recommend bringing your own mask, snorkel, fins and wetsuit to guarantee a good fit.
We use Mares Vectra Origin BCD’s and Aqualung Calypso Regulators.

We are also a member of ASSET (The Association Of Scuba Service Engineers & Technicians).
