DO YOU HAVE NITROX AVAILABLE

Yes, we have Nitrox tanks available for trips leaving from South Bali. Please let us know at the time of booking and we will prepare the tanks the night before ready for your days diving.
Not sure what Nitrox is or want to become certified? More information can be found here.

All our tanks have INT valves or convertible valves (both INT and DIN). DIN adapters are available upon request.

I WEAR GLASSES, CAN I STILL DIVE?

Yes absolutely. One option is to dive in contact lenses – daily disposables are best in case you lose one during some of the mask skills which can happen from time to time.
Prescription mask is a great option. Some dive centers have prescription masks available but it can be difficult to hire one that matches your eyesight requirements exactly so it’s a good idea to invest in one of your own.
If you are long sighted (have difficulty reading but are okay with distances), then you can buy prescription stickers that you apply to the lower section of a regular mask

I’M NOT A STRONG SWIMMER, IS THIS GOING TO BE A PROBLEM?

You don’t need to be Michael Phelps to learn how to dive but there are some minimum requirements for safety reasons.
You will need to complete a 200 meter swim (any stroke and it is not timed), or 300 meter snorkel swim
You will also need to “float” for 10 minutes (this can be laid on your back, swimming or treading)
The most important consideration is that you feel comfortable in the water. If you are not there yet then taking a couple of swim classes will improve your confidence and overall enjoyment.

WHAT IS THE MAXIMUM DEPTH I CAN DIVE?

PADI Open Water Diver max depth: 18 meters
PADI Advanced Open Water Diver max depth: 30 meters
PADI recreational depth limiet: 40 meter

IS IT SAFE TO EXERCISE AFTER DIVING?

It is recommended NOT to exercise immediately after dives.
If you do exercise, make intelligent decisions about how soon after diving you'll exercise, how strenuously you'll exercise and for how long.
Dive conservatively; take it easy and don't push yourself or your dive computer or tables.
