The following is a sample itinerary, we may visit during your liveaboard cruise with the Black Pearl. The dive team wishes to show you the very best diving possible, however, a number of factors determine which route the vessel takes and which dive site selection.

Weather, tides, currents, and the number of other dive vessels at a particular site all play a part in the Cruise Director’s decision of where the Black Pearl is heading. Whilst we attempt to ensure the number of dives we have scheduled is fulfilled, bad weather can hinder the vessel’s ability to reach a specific dive site in good time.

The safety of our guests onboard is paramount and we always do our best to offer diving at alternate locations, should we be unable to visit those famous sites listed below.

The Dive Team will schedule up to 4 dives per day; 3-day dives and either a sunset or a night dive. A typical diving day is scheduled as follows:

• Light snacks with morning coffee & tea followed by a briefing. Dive 1
• Full Breakfast, surface interval followed by a briefing. Dive 2
• Lunch, surface interval followed by a briefing. Dive 3
• Snack & beverage break
• Briefing for Sunset or Night dive
• Dinner

Guests have to check their own flight times and ensure that they leave a minimum of 24 hours between their final dive and their departure flight.

Best known for its diverse diving experiences and underwater landscapes, sharks, manta rays, and world-famous Jellyfish Lake, be awed by the magic this remote destination presents. The Spawning Special during the new moon will also give divers an opportunity to catch the spawning aggregations of the bumphead parrotfish.

Please note: The last dive will be on the penultimate day of the trip. Divers are recommended to wait for 24 hours before flying after the last dive.
