With warm waters, exceptional visibility and easy access to amazing dive sites, VOMO is an accredited PADI 5 Star Dive Resort and a wonderland for diving. We have over 10 different dive sites around VOMO; all of them just 20 to 40 minutes by boat from VOMO and most with a depth of between 12 and 20 metres. Submerge yourself in vast schools of butterfly fish and oriental sweetlips, drift the channels with white tips, giant trevallies and blue fin king fish, descend deep sea ridges with napoleon wrasses and spotted eagle rays, spot turtles or marvel at the stunning species that inhabit the massive volcanic reef formations. Exciting sites with thrilling channels, coral filled overhangs, caves, tunnels or boulders all are waiting to be explored close to VOMO.
If you are not already a certified diver, we encourage you to sign up to a PADI Discover Scuba Diving course or take the full PADI Open Water Dive Course during your stay. For young divers 8 to 12 years, there’s a great Bubble Blowers Course, providing a fun introduction to the world of scuba, whilst the PADI Discover Scuba and Open Water courses are available to everyone over the age of 10 years. It is possible to complete the theory of your dive course online before you arrive at VOMO which will reduce the time required to complete the course on island. Visit www.padi.com/education for eLearning information.
As diving at VOMO is a bespoke experience, guests can select the times they would like to dive in consultation with their instructor. We access all dive sites aboard VOMO’s own purpose-built dive vessel which is shaded and comfortable and can adequately take 6 divers. Our diving equipment is of the highest quality with male and female options.
Before engaging in diving adventures, divers who have not been diving within the last year will be required to participate in an orientation dive conducted in the shallow waters or a pool. Please make sure you bring your diving certification card and log book with you. You must refrain from diving 12 hours after an international flight and 24 hours before traveling by air. This includes helicopter flights.
