What a wonderful experience to cruise underwater

Milou. The riders sit one behind the other as
on a scooter, with their head covered by a transparent
dome providing a panoramic view of the reef
and all the important air to breathe naturally,
without the need of a regulator in the mouth.

to each other underwater. A dive will take about
30 minutes, led and supervised by two qualified
dive guide. Available for anyone over 12 year’s

condition.
