It is an unusual underwater perspective of the island, ideal for families, couples and ocean enthusiasts.<\/p>\n

Explore the marine life around Bawe Island, with the ocean breeze on the open-air upper deck and an underwater window seat below. Divers interact with marine creatures while expert guides share insights, and a diver takes complimentary photos of you from outside the glass.<\/p>\n
