Upon our arrival in Gansbaai, you will receive a briefing of the adventure whilst enjoying a light breakfast. (We recommend that visitors request a pre-packed breakfast from their accommodation.)

We will watch the day's events on a DVD television screen and receive our diving adventure certificates. These DVDs will be available to purchase.
