Yes — Lunch Is Included on Every Trip
Let us answer the question in the title immediately: yes. Every one of our five full-day boat diving trips includes a fresh lunch prepared on board, at no extra cost. It is part of the fixed trip price, exactly like your equipment and your two guided dives — not an upsell waiting for you out at sea.
For complete clarity, here is what every single trip includes:
- Two guided dives — a morning dive at 5 to 8 metres and an afternoon dive at 12 to 13 metres
- All diving equipment, including a wetsuit
- Free two-way hotel transfer
- A fresh lunch prepared on board
- Passenger and diving insurance
- A full briefing before you get anywhere near the water
You can see the current rate for each trip on the prices page — the price you see there is genuinely what the day costs, lunch included.
What Lunch on a Dive Boat Is Actually Like
Lunch is cooked fresh on board while you are enjoying the day, and it is served during the long break between your two dives — usually with the boat anchored somewhere calm. Expect simple, honest boat food prepared that day, not something reheated from a box. We deliberately do not print a fixed menu here, because it varies with the day, the boat and the season — fresh is the promise, and a deck full of hungry divers keeps the crew honest. Eating it in the open air, in a quiet bay, after your first ever dive, does something remarkable for the flavour.
One thing to know in advance: drinks are not included. They are available on board at an extra charge, so bring a little cash for water, tea or a cold soft drink through the day.
Dietary Needs: Tell Us When You Book
Vegetarian? Allergic to nuts or seafood? Avoiding certain foods for any reason? None of that is a problem — as long as we know before the boat leaves the harbour. The crew shops and cooks for the group each day, and a short note at booking time means your plate is planned rather than improvised. A surprise announced at sea, with the nearest shop an hour of sailing away, is much harder to fix. Mention your needs when you reserve, or send us a message after booking — either works, as long as it is before your diving day.
Eating and Diving: A Few Sensible Rules
- Have a light breakfast before pickup — enough fuel for the morning dive, not a feast.
- Never dive stuffed. The schedule takes care of this for you: lunch lands after your first dive, and there is a proper surface interval before the second, so you never go down straight off a full plate.
- Drink water through the day. Sun, salt and breathing dry tank air are all mildly dehydrating — another reason to budget for those on-board drinks.
- Prone to seasickness? Keep the meal light, stay on deck in the fresh air, and tell the crew if you feel off — they have seen it all before.
Why the Lunch Break Is Part of the Diving, Not a Pause From It
The long midday break is not just hospitality — it has a diving job to do. Between your shallow morning dive and the deeper afternoon dive to 12 or 13 metres, a surface interval is standard, sensible practice, and no responsible operator would skip it. Lunch fills that interval perfectly: you warm up in the sun, refuel, swap first-dive stories with the rest of the group and go into round two genuinely ready rather than merely willing. Guests regularly tell us the meal in a quiet bay was one of the best parts of the day — which, for a diving company, is only slightly wounding.
Curious how the meal fits into the wider schedule? Read our guide to how long a diving day takes, then pick your trip on the tours page. Reserving is free, you pay on the day, and cancellation is free up to 24 hours in advance. Bring your appetite — the sea will take care of the rest.
