A round of golf, whale watching tours, hiking, bird watching and kayaking are amongst the choices offered from the Aire del Mar.
Diving
The Great White Experience is operated from comfortable boats with upper deck viewing platforms, on-board toilets and plenty of refreshments. These come equipped with a cage suspended from the side where you view the underwater action.
The water is cold and 7mm two piece wetsuits are supplied. All you need to take are your dive boots, gloves and mask. This experience is all about breath holding so snorkels are recommended for under water photographers! Waterproof jackets are supplied for the journey to ‘Shark Alley’.

"A great well organised trip."
A great, well organised trip. Good sleeping accommodation and good catering even for the very hungry. Close encounters with dolphins, sharks, rays, big jacks, the ubiquitous trigger fish, puffer fish and many more. Most dives were accompanied by loud whale song! Great support from a clearly very experienced and competent crew.
