All the dive guides in charge have at least 20years  experience, more than 5000 dives in Bali.

We have over 20years of diving  instructor histry. so please participate in diving with confidence.

 

Q2 Where can I meet at the airport when asking for pickup?

First of all, domestic flight,  international flight and Bali airport will be the same site (distance of about 10 minutes walking), the arrival gate is different. When you receive the luggage, please go through the customs directly to the exit. At the exit waiting area, please look for a driver with our logo sign (lion fish logo).

 

The name of our shop is also included. At that time, we handed over the next day's dive schedule from the driver.
 
Q3 Its the continuation of the question of  but what should I do if  I cannot comply with the driver I pick up at that time?
The case where you cannot meet the driver is very rare, but it may not be the case that arrival at the airport will not be delayed due to road conditions. Also, there is a possibility that the inside of the airport is crowded and it is hard to see each other. In that case It's very sorry, but if you can find it a bit more and still cannot meet, will you call our shop at the telephone office in the airport? (The phone number is  0363-41660(till 18:00pm local time).

 

If you cannot contact our dive center , please contact the administrator 's mobile phone (0812-3632 - 6006  24 hours). In addition(only for emergency), we also call the driver's mobile phone at our dive center to check the circumstances.
 
Q4 Whats will be taken on the day if diving?
If you have diving equipment, C-card,  log book, towel (essential because the shower is bathed after diving),, sun oil, some money (However, lunch and drinks are included normaly during diving) etc.  However, we  cannot  take responsibility for theft, loss at the diving point, so please do not bring valuables.


In addition, the boat dive may become a catamaran called Jukung. In that case, there are ships that do not have a roof, so when you go out for diving, it is convenient to have a hat.
 
Q5 I felt sick during diving. How do you diving?
If you already started diving before the previous day, if you let us know by 12:00 pm the previous day  , you can cancel without cancellation charge, so please contact our dive center. (However, in the case of Nusa Penida Island, charge will be charged on account of the minimum capacity of the boat).

 

In addition, we cannot respond to the return of diving fee for one day due to circumstances such as the fact that we have already finished preparations for customers, etc. on the day of diving (or after 12:00pm the previous day) unfortunately.


Also, within the busy seasons, you cannot change the contents reserved in advance at the site. For details, please refer to the cancellation charge.


However, the problem here is the condition of the customer. I think that it is important to be rested slowly and prepare for the next day. Also, after arriving in Bali, please try to eat foods that have a lot of spices, not too strong spices for several days. Also, it may be safe to avoid drinks with ice.
 
Q6  What is the schedule for the first day of diving?
Schedule of the day (time has some errors depending on points) 08: 00am Each hotel picks up, our dive center collection, document description, equipment fitting on, after dive briefing, move point (direct boat, cars  moves, beach, boat  dive, etc.  It depends on the point  etc.). 09: 00am - 10: 00am 1st dive start, 11: 00am - 12: 00pm 2nd dive start.

Q7 I want to go diving at the point where a sunfish is at once from the first day of diving?
It is a frequent question in the dry season (August - October) when  sunfish appear. First of all, the point where a sunfish is present is basically a diving point with some difficulty for experienced divers. The first day of diving, including those who are used for the first time at our dive center and those who are repeaters is called "check dive", we have chosen easy dive points. In order to grasp the skill level etc. of the divers, please also understand that we also prepare the preparation time to reduce stress by knowing the characteristics of our dive center  and guide even by customers.

 

Also, the point at which sunfish appears is not going to subside every day because it goes to the submarine after judging tide tidal time. Please plan the points where new customers will have sunfish in a schedule that you can afford. For details, please refer to the itinerary which it is likely to meet sunfish.


Therefore, we will refuse the request only for the point where there is a sunfish only for one day. For safe points, we accept reservations only for diving applicants for more than 3 days (new customers).
 
Q8 Please tell me about cancellation charges.
Cancellation charges are different from those for individual reservations, packages, for diving and hotels. For details, please refer to the cancellation charge as it is described. By the way, those who were booked by e-mail are already interpreted as having agreed on the contents of the cancellation charge.

 

Also, please be noted that during the busy season, if canceled due to customer's convenience of the site, the changed amount of the contents reserved in advance will be charged as a full charge as a cancellation charges.

 

Q9 What currency is available for payment?
For payment, cash (US $, EURO,JPY and  Indonesian Rupiah), credit card (VISA, MASTER) is possible. However, for credit cards, we will charge 3% plus the total amount plus payment amount.Payment in ruipah or credit card(in rupiah only) will converted  based on current USD cash selling rate .

 

Also, banknotes prior to 2006 of US dollar cash, banknotes that are cut, dirty bills, numbers starting with CB can not be used because banks in Indonesia do not accept money exchange. In the case of  Indonesian Rupiah, the exchange rate for the US dollar cash from the Indonesian Rupiah (Cash Selling Rate) of  PT.Dirgahayu Valuta Prima of the day is used.


In addition, payment of credit cards in US dollars using PAYPAL is also possible. However, in that case, we will add 5% plus payment amount. 
 
Q10 I heard that the water temperature in the sea area of sunfish will be low. Is there anything to be noted about equipment?
The time zone of the sunfish point appears to float in the shallow along with the cold water zone where the sunfish inhabits normally, so the water temperature will be low (sunfish tends to be below 23 ℃). Therefore, it would be better for you to have a 5-millimeter Fruits, Hood, or Hooded Vest. Rental of 5 mm fulls is also possible (size is limited), when the fabric is thick, it takes time and effort to wear, and not all of it to your body shape, so stress is applied until you get used to it .

 

There are customers who feel it. If you have your own wet suit, we recommend bringing your own wetsuit. Also, because the flow tends to be faster, it is convenient to use, that is, it is better to use your own fins. Also, since the water depth tends to be deep, a diving computer becomes essential. Although it is fine even if you rent here, please inform us.

Q12 Do I need insurance?
The diving insurance is included in our dive tour, but since compensation amount is limited, We ask that guests always subscribeto to travel insurance etc.Cettified divers should have there own insurance like DAN.

 

Q13 What happens if the weather is bad?
The great thing about diving in Bali is that we have a wide variety of dive sites located in different areas of Bali. It is a very rare occasion that we are unable to dive due to weather and in this instance we will either move to an alternative dive location, reschedule your dive trip or offer a refund.
