Dive Centre
Our on-board PADI dive centre is fully stocked with all the equipment required to safely and comfortably explore the beautiful and rich waters of Indonesia. Your Cruise Director and Dive Instructor can arrange a simple two hour discovery programme for those who never tried before, or assist with your first or further certifications.
Health and safety of all involved is always the first consideration when planning dives, whether for certified divers or beginners. While diving is a hugely inclusive sport, it’s important to understand the requirements for certification as well as the risks involved.
Before any diver can begin in-water training, in addition to the standard documents and releases a medical statement must be completed, to ascertain if the student has any pre-existing medical conditions - a copy of which can be found here.
In the event of a yes response on the medical, this does not automatically disqualify candidates from diving, instead requiring a medical professional to review the statement and make a decision based on any condition and the individual. If this is required, we would always recommend seeking a doctor with knowledge of hyperbaric medicine. This is an extensive field of medicine, and such as many standard GPs do not have extensive knowledge. Please advise if you wish for us to assist in seeking out a specialist in hyperbaric medicine.
Before achieving your first diving certification – PADI’s Open Water Diver, in addition to in-water skills and experience building there are various sections on theory covering physics, the environment as well as equipment and about the natural world. Further certifications build upon the knowledge you have already gained by adding further information relative to the experience you’re seeking. This could be the physical knowledge related to diving deeper, more complex applications of a compass underwater, or delving deeper into the psychology of diving during your Rescue Diver course.
Your time onboard is valuable and restricted, and for these reasons we understand that it would be wasteful to spend hour after hour reading textbooks, watching videos or completing exams. While this could be a burden during a cruise, we are committed to giving you the best education possible. In order to achieve this, we would always recommend completing Electronic Learning (E-Learning) in advance of your arrival.
With advance planning we can provide a code to give you access to the digital materials offered by PADI. With this you are able to work on a device or computer at your own time and pace to complete the theory work before you arrive. We are always at hand if any questions arise during the training, while a review will be undertaken when arriving onboard to ensure that everything has been understood.
