About this trip

Bandos is the working diver's resort. It's older, less polished than the design-led places, but the dive operation is the best in the country at its price tier — boats running multiple sites a day, divemasters who know the sites cold, and a house reef that's worth diving on a layover day. For divers who want to log 20+ dives in a week, this is the resort. For divers who want to log 20+ dives and have their non-diving partner feel looked after, we'd add a couples' massage and a sandbank day to balance it out.
