F.A.Q.
Should I make reservations in advance?
Do I need to bring my wetsuit?
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 PADI Open Water Course?
I would really like to go diving, but I don't have enough time to do the whole PADI Open Water Course. Is it possible to dive without certification?
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:
1. You can do your theory online with PADI e-learning from home. After this you can finish the practical part (pool session and 4 open water dives) with Aqua Windie's. You can find a link to the PADI e-learning on our website and start right away!
2. You can do your theory and pool skills at a dive center in your area and complete your 4 open water dives at Aqua Windie's.
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?
My travel companion is not a diver, do you have suggestions on how to go diving and spend time with him/her?
There are 2 options:
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 am diving?
2. During summer vacation we organize summer activities for children (age 4 and up).
3. Some hotels offer childcare services or baby-sitter when staying there.
How do I know that I'm fit for diving?
