Guided boat dives are the normal and safest way to run Deep Blue.
Deep Blue is an advanced boat-access drift dive in southern Amed. A shallow bay start quickly gives way to a stronger current over coral bommies and open water, with chances for larger reef fish and sharks. It suits confident scuba divers who want a faster, more open profile than the easier bay dives, and it rewards solid buoyancy and gas discipline.
