Animal Highlights

Common Encounters

Tiger Sharks

The most famous sharks here, which you will see up-close and in big numbers at Tiger Beach

Whalesharks

There are very good chances of encountering whalesharks close to Cocos island. It is hit or miss, but so far we always saw several on each trip

Turtles

Various turtle species can be found all over the area and you should see them often throughout the expedition.

Dolphins

Bottlenose dolphin pods are very friendly in this area and come in to inspect divers on a regular basis.

Wrecks

Palau was the scene of a large sea battle during WWII leaving many sunken ships and planes.

Spawning Aggregations

Palau is the only place in the world that can pin point over 20 different reef fish spawns. Several species of reef fish spawn every month. Which spawning is possible for your trip depends each year on the timing.

Sharks

Palau has probably the healthiest shark population in the world. On every dive you will see countless reef sharks, as well as larger pelagic sharks at certain dive sites.

Macro Life

Komodo also has an abundance of excellent macro subjects

Hammerhead sharks

Galapagos is famous for its large schools of Hammerheads and the opportunity to see them up close on cleaning stations.

β€œI have done 3 trips with Insider Divers and already have my next one booked - this time I will swim with whales. Simon Lorenz manages trip details thoroughly, making it as effortless as possible for the divers. The most recent trip was Galapagos, and the mix of land and sea arrangements, taking into consideration the rules and policies of the park, were quite intricate, but all we needed to do was show up (on time please!) because all of the heavy lifting was done by Simon. It is also valuable that he is an award-winning underwater photographer so after the trip, we get pro photos to keep the memories alive for a lifetime! ”

”I’ve done a few trips with Insider Divers and plan to join more. I have had so much fun every time and learned so much. Insider Divers offers detailed and catered experiences that make sure you get the most out of any destination. Also they help to make you a much better diver plus I’ve met so many awesome people from all over the world."

β€œSimon's organization and communication pre-trip and during the trip is more than you could possibly ask for. His research into the various dive sites in the world guarantees you are going to be in the right part of the world at the right time with the most professional operators in the area. I loved the talks and presentations in between the dives and I learned a tremendous amount about photography and marine biology. Also, Simon is a very skilled photographer and he took several of me that I will cherish.”

FAQ

  • What is the minimum diving experience needed?

    Different expeditions call for different experience levels, but generally none of our trips are suited for complete beginners. Our easiest itineraries require at least 25 logged dives, ensuring you have the comfort and control needed for more advanced underwater environments.

    All expeditions also require an Advanced Open Water certification (or equivalent) and Nitrox β€” both mandatory across our entire program β€” so every diver arrives prepared for depth, safety, and extended bottom times.

  • Will I get professional underwater photos?

    All our Insider guides are professional underwater photographers who aim to take pictures of the marine wildlife, hopefully with you in it. Our Insiders are great at taking the photos AND at coaching you how to look good in them.

    After the trip your photos will appear in your Insider Divers Portal.

  • Do you offer individual bookings?

    Our business model is built around fully chartered, expertly guided group expeditions. We don’t offer individual bookings to our destinations because only a dedicated, cohesive group allows us to control every element of the experience β€” ensuring the quality, safety, and atmosphere that define our trips.

  • How do I sign up?

    Contact us directly to enquire about a specific trip or simply to ask any general questions. We’re happy to walk you through any of our expeditions during a complimentary phone call, where we can also discuss your current experience level, recommend the trip that suits you best, or outline the training needed to reach the required level. Feel free to reach out anytime β€” we’re here to help you plan your next adventure.
