Guided dives

Dive packages

Our diving packages are only for certified divers. Prices are based upon making 1 or 2 guided dives per
day, night dives not counted. Night dives are part of your dive package. However, the additional
surcharge for these dives is not included in the package price and will be added to the price on location.
Our diving packages are strictly personal; you cannot share your package with another diver.
The dives include:

‐ Tank, air & weights

‐ Guidance of a professional dive guide

‐ Spare equipment and First Aid equipment including emergency oxygen are on the dive site at all times
ready to be used

Dives

Our dives have a maximum dive time of 50 minutes (45 minutes for night dives) or until a minimum of 50
bars. We do not make decompression dives. Dives deeper than 30 meter can be planned in when noted
in advance and only when our planning and the weather conditions allow for it.

Medical approval for diving

Each diver is responsible to prove that he or she is medically fit to dive. For that purpose, SSI provides a
medical questionnaire. The questions on the medical questionnaire should all be answered with a NO. If
you have one or more questions that need to be answered with a YES, you will need a medical approval
from a doctor (not older than one year). This Certificate must be presented before the start of your
diving activities.

Logbook and certification card

Every diver joining our fun dives is expected to present his logbook and diver certification card to our
staff. These items prove the diver’s experience and level of certification.

Refresher dive
Divers who have not been diving for 1 year or longer need to start off with a Refresher dive, unless they
meet at least two of the following conditions:

‐ Level of SSI Advanced Open Water Diver / PADI Rescue Diver or higher

‐ 40 logged dives or more

‐ Have been diving in the past 12 months

Rental equipment
The basic set of equipment we offer for rent is new and of professional quality.
A basic diving gear includes:
‐ Mask & Snorkel

‐ Fins

‐ Wetsuit

‐ BCD/ Stab. Jacket

‐ Regulator set including: alternative air source, depth gauge & Submersible pressure gauge
Additional equipment such as a dive computer, compass, torch, etc. are also available for rent. For these
items an additional rental price is charged per dive.

Dive computer
Certified divers who want to dive deeper than 18 meters are required to use a dive computer.

Using own equipment
Divers bringing their own diving equipment are expected to have it in a good state. Make sure your gear
is working properly and is serviced on time. Private gear will be checked by one of our trained
staff members for good functioning. If our staff believes that a diver’s private equipment is not
working properly or is not well maintained, we will not allow this diver to dive with us using this
equipment. In this case the diver will be offered to rent equipment from the school instead (at an extra
cost). We are also certified professional service technicians for the brand Mares, so for that brand we
can also offer a quality service.
This measure is to ensure and protect the safety of both our guests as well as our guides.
