Group Trips
Group Trips
Whether you are going solo or traveling with good mates, a group trip is a great way to see the world. We've posted some of our own exclusive charters as well as other group trips to both diving and non-diving destinations. Snorkel with calving and mating humpback whales in Tonga or the Dominican Republic and be astonished how much grace and gentleness these massive mammals possess. On a group departure you may witness the thundering sounds of hooves during the annual migration in East Africa – proof that there is tremendous strength in numbers. You may also isit an orangutan sanctuary in Malaysia and come back intensely dedicated to saving them from extinction. These once in a lifetime trips will reawaken your joy for travel and our planet. Traveling with a group of like minded voyagers is not only rewarding, but fun!

It's like summer dive camp for women. And to make it even more special, the boat is donating 5% of the trip price to Dive for a Cure for breast cancer research. After all, we've all been touched by breast cancer; some more closely than others. Let's celebrate life, have some fun and give to a worthy cause. The Sea of Cortez - known as the Gulf of California - is a breathtaking destination for scuba diving, snorkeling, and exploration. Legendary diver Jacques Cousteau described the Sea of Cortez as the "world's aquarium". Dive on untouched walls and reefs abounding in marine life. Encounter large and small whale species, snorkel with whale sharks, dive with playful sea lion colonies and see countless eels, octopus, fish and jumping mobula rays. It's a macro photographers dream with nudibranchs, colorful blennys, dancing jawfish and sea horses.
Between dives you can hike and explore remote uninhabited islets and at night you can gaze at the Milky Way. Give us one week and we will help you create a lifetime of memories while forging new friendships aboard Quino el Guardian. You will dine on incredible cuisine and enjoy the friendly service that has made us famous.

Tahiti
Just say the words “French Polynesia” and what springs to mind are a plethora of small islands with stunning white beaches, surrounded by crystal clear warm water. Situated in the heart of the Pacific Ocean, this island archipelago is home to some of the most wondrous dive sites, where hundreds of hungry sharks gather in schools to be joined by manta rays and bottle-nosed dolphins.
Diving Rangiroa’s reefs and channels you can expect to see grey reef hammerhead, black tips, silky, tiger and silver tip shark species cruising the reef, hunting on schools of snapper and fusiliers. While drift diving through the 1200m wide channel at North Fakarava Island, you can experience incredible shark action, see huge Napoleon wrasses and witness marbled groupers spawning. A typical diving day will see you cruising through channels and exploring the outer reefs of the atolls, yet there are numerous of shallow dive sites within the Tuamotu Archipelago, each with stunning hard corals, sheltering all manner of crustaceans and molluscs.
