What to Bring

Medical Clearance
Certification Card
Dive Equipment

It is recommended that you visit a doctor before you go scuba diving, particularly if you plan on taking a course.

If you are already certified, we need some proof of training with an internationally recognized diving organisation (AIDA, Molchanovs, PADI, SSI, etc). If you have forgotten or lost your card, we can only check PADI certifications online.

You can hire equipment from us or you can bring your own freediving equipment. Check with your airline about any extra charges for sports equipment before flying.

We have a variety of masks but we always recommend bringing your own if you have one that fits your face.
