When you come here for fun dives, you can ask the dive guide to take photos for you. (I brought my own camera, but you can also rent it here~) Note that tours don't start every day because a certain number of people are needed for each boat to operate. Also, tours may be canceled due to weather, but this isn't Palaone's fault; it was because I came during the rainy season, and one of my trips was canceled an hour before departure due to the coast guard. Overall, Palaone is quite cost-effective, and you can take tons of photos! 😆 They even helped me apply medicine to my scraped heel from kicking it with my fins 🥹
Had such a great time on this freediving trip! The coaches were very professional, patient, and supportive, especially for beginners like us. They made the whole experience fun and comfortable from start to finish. The lunch was a nice bonus too! Definitely worth it, and I highly recommend this to anyone looking to try freediving. ❤️
