Frequently Asked Questions
What are the facilities like?
At SORCE, we offer an idyllic blend of comfort and charm with our traditional bamboo huts, each providing a cozy private retreat. Our beautifully designed bathroom block features modern showers and toilets, ensuring convenience and style. The den is the heart of our community—a vibrant space for socialising, dining, and unwinding. Best of all, we’re right on the beachfront, so you’ll enjoy beautiful sunsets.
Do I need a diving certification?
At SORCE, we’re proud to have our own on-site PADI Diving Instructor ready to guide you through every step of your diving journey. Whether taking your first plunge with an Open Water course or advancing your skills to Divemaster, our expert instructor will ensure you gain the knowledge and confidence needed to explore the underwater world.
What is the minimum and maximum stay?
You can join us for as little as two weeks or stay as long as you like! While we recommend a month to immerse yourself in our conservation activities fully, shorter stays are equally impactful.
