Diver Safety
Your Safety Matters Most
Is it possible to dive with you without any certification?
For the safety of all divers, we require certification for all dives. Not being certified can pose risks to yourself and others. However, if you're new to diving, we offer the Discover Scuba Diving program as an introduction to diving under the direct supervision of a PADI professional.

What is your diver-to-guide ratio during dives?
We strictly adhere to PADI Standards, ensuring that there are no more than four divers per guide. This ratio allows us to prioritize and maintain divers' safety throughout the dive experience.
What qualifications and experience do your dive guides have?
Our dive guides are all certified professionals (at least PADI Divemaster) with extensive experience in diving and guiding. They hold certifications from internationally recognized agencies and undergo regular training to stay updated with the latest safety standards.
How do you ensure that divers stay within their skill limits?
We conduct thorough dive briefings before every dive to ensure that divers understand the dive plan and are aware of any potential hazards. Our guides closely monitor divers during the dive and will intervene if they see any diver exceeding their skill limits.
Are there any health requirements or restrictions for diving with you?
Yes, there are health requirements for diving with us. We strictly adhere to PADI standards, including their medical statement. Before diving with us, every diver must fill out this form. If any limitations are indicated on the form, we may require a medical statement from a doctor. However, divers can always contact us if they're unsure, and we'll be happy to assist them.
What safety measures do you have in place for divers with medical conditions?
We take the safety of all our divers seriously, especially those with medical conditions. Before diving, we require all divers to fill out a medical questionnaire to ensure they are fit to dive. If there are any medical concerns, we may require a doctor's clearance before allowing them to dive.
Do you provide dive insurance or recommend any specific providers?
While we do not provide dive insurance directly, we highly recommend that all divers have comprehensive dive insurance coverage. We particularly recommend DAN (Divers Alert Network), as PADI recognizes them as a leading dive safety organization. DAN offers specialized dive insurance plans that cover diving-related injuries, including emergency medical evacuation, which can be crucial in remote dive locations like ours.

How do you ensure the safety and maintenance of your diving equipment?
We prioritize the safety and maintenance of our diving equipment to ensure a seamless and secure diving experience. Our equipment undergoes regular inspections and maintenance by certified technicians. Additionally, we adhere to PADI standards for equipment care and maintenance.
How do you handle emergency situations underwater?
In the event of an underwater emergency, our dive guides are trained in first aid, CPR, and emergency oxygen administration. We also have emergency action plans in place and are in constant communication with the local Emergency Medical Service (ORMEMS) for immediate assistance if needed.
Can we go diving in lightning thunderstorms?
No, diving during lightning thunderstorms is extremely dangerous. Lightning can strike the water's surface and pose a serious risk to divers. For safety reasons, we do not conduct dives during such weather conditions. Your safety is our top priority, and we adhere to strict safety protocols to ensure a safe diving experience for all our divers.
