Quality skin diving lessons & tours
About Us
Reef Nomads reconnects people to the ocean through guided skin diving tours.
Skin diving is diving down in one breath for recreation, just going deep enough to see marine life up close. This inspires a deeper appreciation and care for life under the sea.
