What to Expect on Your Falmouth Scuba Diving Tour
Your dive experience begins with a friendly meet-and-greet from your certified dive master or PADI instructor. From there, you’ll gear up and receive a comprehensive safety briefing, including a refresher for certified divers or an introductory “Discover Scuba” session for first-time divers.
Once you’re geared up, it’s time to head out to one of the top dive sites in Falmouth Bay, typically within 10–15 minutes by boat. Dive sites are selected based on your experience level and weather conditions but may include:
-
Cousin’s Cove Reef – A shallow dive spot ideal for beginners, filled with parrotfish, angelfish, and stingrays.
-
Chukka Reef Wall – A drop-off teeming with sponges, sea fans, and reef sharks for intermediate to advanced divers.
-
Sunken Spanish Galleon – A historic shipwreck resting at a moderate depth, perfect for certified divers seeking adventure and history.
Your dive time underwater ranges from 30 to 45 minutes, depending on your air consumption and certification level.
After resurfacing, you’ll return to the dock where refreshments and fresh water showers await. You’ll also have ample time to return to the port and even explore the Falmouth marketplace if you’re visiting by cruise.
