The first certification program for any scuba diver. This is where our instructors will guide you through your training and show you the beauty of the underwater world. Our team will ensure you have the skills you need to dive safely anywhere in the world, and look good while you do it. Get ready to jump in!
The program takes 3 days to complete. Prior to day 1 you will need to complete some online theory.
Day 1 - Our instructor will review your quizzes and issue the final exam. Then we will jump in the swimming pool for 4 hours to begin learning the basic skills of Scuba diving.
Day 2 - We will go to the ocean on our Dive boats and complete 2 dives. During these dives we will repeat the skills we learned in the pool, in a real diving environment, then we will go to explore the underwater world
Day 3 - We will once again head to the ocean to complete 2 more dives, and perfect all the skills we have been practicing. At the end of the day you will come back to the shop, finish up final certification checks and be issued your lifetime Scuba Diving Certification!
Each day we will start at our shop at 8:00am – Location
You will need to bring your swimsuit, a towel, some suncreen (reef safe please) as well as a positive and engaged attitude! When we are on the boat, there is snacks, fruits, lunch and drinks all on board for you.
Day 1 – we will get our equipment together, review quizzes and then head to Basaya swimming pool. We typically finish the swimming pool day back at the shop around 3:00pm. Please bring a lunch or some small money.
Day 2 – After meeting at the shop we will travel to Bali Hai pier and board our boat for the day. We will do 2 dives and have a hot lunch served part way through the day. We plan to arrive back to the shop around 4:00pm.
Day 3 – Similar to day 2, however after arriving back at the shop, there is some administrative things to finish up so plan to be a little bit later than 4:00pm.
