Do I need to be able to swim?

You do not need to be a strong swimmer in order to be able to do an Introduction Dive, however you do need to be comfortable in water. For courses you are required to be able to swim 200m and to float unassisted for 10 minutes.

 

Can my family or friends take part in scuba diving or snorkeling while I am on a day trip or a PADI course.

Yes, we can accomadate this in various situations.

 

Do I need Insurance.

It is your choice and yes it is a good idea to have you own insurance in the unlikely event of a problem from scuba diving and if you need to cancel and make a claim.  You need check your holiday Insurance to see what it covers. Certified divers should have there own from Insurers Like DAN.

What happens if the weather is bad?

The great thing about diving in Bali is that we have a wide variety of dive sites located in different areas of Bali. It is a very rare occasion that we are unable to dive due to weather and in this instance we will either move to an alternative dive location, reschedule your dive trip or offer a refund.
