Answer |
Should I make reservations in advance? |
Since we're diving in small groups only (6 max), it is wise to make a reservation in advance because spaces are limited. |
Do I need to bring my wetsuit? |
Water temperature in Aruba is around 78F. Whether you need a wetsuit depends on your own comfort level. We provide 3mm shorties with our equipment should you decide that you need one. |
I'm very interested in diving, but I don't know for sure if I like it. Is there a way to go diving without taking the whole Open Water Course? |
Yes. You can start with a Discover Scuba Dive, after which you decide if you want to continue with your Open Water Course. |
I would really like to go diving, but I don't have enough time to do the whole Open Water Course. Is it possible to dive without certification? |
Yes, but only with an instructor and not deeper than 40ft. First you start with a Resort Dive, after which you can do some repeat Resort Dives. |
I would like to do the Open Water Course, but I don't want to spend time in the classroom during my vacation. What are the possibilities? |
There are two options: |
I'm a certified diver and I want to continue my education. Do you offer an Advanced Open Water Course? |
Yes, it takes about 2,5 days to complete your Advanced Open Water Course. When you are interested in more education after that it is also possible to do Specialty Courses or continue more professional with Rescue and Divemaster |
I haven't been diving in a while and I don't feel completely sure about my knowledge and/or diving. Is it possible to do a Refresh Course? |
Yes, we find it very comforting for people to do a Refresh Course when they haven't been diving in a while. The diving becomes much more fun and rewarding when you feel comfortable in the water. Make your diving experience on Aruba as much fun as possible! |
Do you offer night diving? |
Yes, nightdives are possible on request from monday till friday, with a minimum of 2 people diving. |
My travel companion is not a diver, do you have suggestions on how to go diving and spend time with him/her? |
Your friend can take a Resort Course and you accompany him/her on that dive(s) or your friend can join with our trips to do some snorkeling or just relax on the beach/boat. |
I will be on vacation with my children and plan to go on diving. Can you suggest any activities for my children to do while I go diving? |
There are a few options: |
How do I know that I'm fit for diving? |
The best way to know is to seek advice of your physician, especially when you have to answer YES to one ot more questions on the medical questionnaire (see the link on the left) |
