Our company specializes in providing bespoke island tours particularly in Scuba Diving, fishing and boat charters with an emphasis on the responsible and sustainable enjoyment of our islands.

Since then, we've now become PADI’s first 5* Gold Palm, National Geographic dive center on Palau. Our shop is proudly 100% Palauan owned and operated by the NECO Group of Companies. Our shop is located right on the water at the beginning of Malakal Island in Koror, flanked by the Palau Royal Resort, The Cove Resort, Sea Passion Hotel and Palau Vacation Hotel and just down the street from West Plaza Malakal.Our facility includes the Neco Marina, the very popular Drop Off Bar and Grill, state of the art Bauer compressors, Generon Oxygen Membranes, high performance custom built Yamaha speed boats, highly maintained Aqua Lung regulators and BCDs, and finally the island's only Scuba Diving training pool. We are also pleased to offer a variety of watersports and diving gear at our retail shop carrying popular brands such as GoPro, Mares, Mobby, Maui Jim, Omer, Aqua Lung, Apex, and Pelican.

North America - Belize

Belize is a diver’s playground where the Caribbean’s only three true atolls cradle kaleidoscopic coral gardens, steep drop-offs and the iconic Great Blue Hole. Glide over nurse-shark nurseries at Hol Chan, descend along Lighthouse Reef’s vertiginous walls, or time your visit to Placencia for exhilarating whale-shark encounters at Gladden Spit. Warm 26-29 °C waters, 15-30 m visibility and a laid-back Creole-Garífuna culture turn every surface interval into a tropical holiday. Whether you’re certifying in shallow seagrass meadows or racking up tech-level depth on coral-encrusted ledges, Belize blends world-class marine biodiversity with sustainable operators, eco-minded lodges and easy travel connections—making it the perfect base for both first-time bubbles and bucket-list underwater adventures.
