Gasfinolhu is surrounded by a vast, beautiful lagoon which is home to a large variety of marine life. There is no typical house reef and so all our dives are boat dives. As the lagoon is shallow it is a ideal environment for both divers training and snorkeling.
All equipment needed for diving & snorkeling can be rented at the dive center. The equipment is checked, serviced and replaced regularly, insuring that everything is always up to date. All rental and personal diving equipment is stored in the on-site wet room.
The average water temperature is 28 degrees Celsius. The visibility from January to May is around 20m to 50m and from June to December is around 15m to 25m.
