North Island Company Ltd - Inner Islands
The team at North Island Company Ltd are all about making your dive trip feel utterly effortless, which, let’s be honest, is exactly what you want when you’re already staying somewhere so special. This isn’t a high-volume, churn-and-burn operation. Instead, they specialise in super personalised service, tailoring every outing to your skill level and what you’re hoping to see. It’s perfect for couples or families who want that private boat feel, often with just you and a guide exploring the calm, warm waters around the island. Our pick for a truly memorable dive is out to Coral Gardens, especially in the morning before any wind picks up. We love dropping down there and seeing the resident hawksbill turtles often browsing the sponges. The light filters through the water, creating these shimmering patterns on the sandy patches between the bommies. Keep an eye out for octopus tucked into crevices, their eyes watching you warily. If you’re feeling adventurous, ask about a night dive. The bioluminescence can be incredible, and it’s a completely different world when the parrotfish are sleeping in their mucous cocoons and the morays are out hunting. Just be aware, this level of bespoke service comes with a price tag, but for an exclusive experience, it’s worth it.
