Your first dive should be nothing short of spectacular, and with Sadko Safari Fleet, we make sure it is. Unlike standard introductory dives offered by other operators, we provide a premium, comfortable, and well-organized experience aboard our spacious safari yacht Springland—a true floating dive center with top-class amenities.
Program Schedule
1. Arrival & Briefing
Your day begins at the marina, where you board our large, twin-engine dive yacht, offering ample space to relax and prepare. Unlike crowded daily dive boats, we focus on small groups, ensuring personal attention and a stress-free learning environment. As we cruise toward the dive site, your instructor will give a detailed safety briefing, covering equipment use, hand signals, and basic diving skills.
2. Equipment Fitting & Practice
With us, safety comes first. Our high-quality rental gear is well-maintained, and your instructor will ensure a perfect fit for your wetsuit, mask, and fins. Before the dive, you'll get time to practice basic skills on the surface, helping you feel completely at ease before descending.
3. Your First Dive!
Now, the real adventure begins! Unlike many operators who take beginners to generic sites, we carefully choose calm, vibrant reefs where marine life is abundant. With an instructor by your side, you’ll glide through the crystal-clear water, surrounded by colorful fish and stunning corals. The dive lasts 20-30 minutes, at a depth of 5-7 meters (16-23 feet)—the perfect introduction to the underwater world.
4. Relax & Enjoy the Yacht
After your dive, you won’t be crammed onto a small boat with limited facilities. Instead, relax in our air-conditioned salon, enjoy the shaded sundeck, or take a refreshing shower in our spacious bathrooms with hot water—a rare comfort among daily dive operators.
A freshly prepared lunch by our onboard chef awaits you, offering a variety of delicious options. Snorkeling gear is available, so you can continue exploring while waiting for second dive.
5. Second Dive
Unlike standard introductory programs that end after one dive, we offer two dives, allowing you to explore a different part of the reef if you feel confident and excited for more.
6. Return to Marina
As we cruise back, you can charge your camera or phone onboard, review your dive photos, and relive the experience while sipping a cup of tea or coffee in our comfortable bar area.
