Activities: When we go to the south barrier reef, (Boca de Cote or Cayo Sal) we only have time for 2 dives per day because of the long distance. When we dive close to el Gran Roque we will take rest stop after the first dive and bring our divers to the closest island (Madrisqui, Francisqui, Rasqui), for the interval surface time. And for the lunch, and to share some time with your companion or friends who didn't dive. Programs are according with your experience, 2 immersions by day, and even you can dive the first day if your flight arrives during the morning.
