Experience the Magic of the Rebel Reef
What is a Spawn Trip?
A “spawn trip” involves observing specific, timed reproductive events for coral spawning which occur during the full moon every month. There are typically night dives and it’s suggested that divers have comfortable buoyancy control and solid diving skills to avoid disrupting the delicate process.
Tell me a bit more about the trip itself?
You will be diving with scientists and local experts of the Rebel Reef. Tela Coral founder, Juli Berwald will be leading the research team. Local professional and owner of Tela Marine, Antal Börcsök, will be working with guests before, during and after the dives to provide context and share the process of the Rebel Reef discovering as well as the evolution of the mission to study this special reef and its significance.
A portion of your retreat costs will go directly to preserve and protect this special place, the coral reef and its surroundings.

Your Honduras Diving AdZENture includes all meals, those prepared at our accommodations as well as meals out at restaurants. You will be asked to provide any special dietary restrictions before the start of your retreat so we are able to accommodate your requests.

Example: “I don’t eat seafood” means that our chef will design a special, non-seafood dish just for you when the rest of the guests will receive a seafood meal. You will not be able to ‘try’ the seafood dish as these meals are made to order specifically for each guest. Thank you for your understanding.
An itinerary will be provided to you in the weeks leading up to your AdZENture. Please note, on this very special trip, timing is very important. We have to allow flexibility in order to time the dives properly in accordance with the tides and the spawn.
