Frequently asked questions

Do I need a scuba certification to join?

No — this Try Scuba program is designed for first-timers with guided instruction and a maximum depth of 12 metres.

What is the minimum age to participate?

Minimum age is 10 years; participants must be comfortable in the water and complete a health questionnaire.

How long is the whole day?

Pick-ups start early and the itinerary returns to accommodations around 5:00 PM, so plan for about 8–9 hours from pickup to drop-off.

Can I dive if I’ve recently flown?

No — diving within 24 hours of flying is not recommended because of decompression risk; schedule accordingly.

History

The USAT Liberty was torpedoed in 1942 and later beached near Tulamben; volcanic activity shifted the ship into the surf where it became an accessible wreck dive.

Conservation

An environmental management charge applies at many sites; practice good buoyancy, don’t touch coral or wildlife, and support local reef-protection efforts.

Adventure tips

Arrive hydrated and restedDiving is physically gentle but dehydration increases fatigue and equalization problems — drink water before the pick-up.

Don’t fly within 24 hoursFlying after diving increases decompression risk — schedule flights at least 24 hours after your last dive.

Practice basic mask and regulator skillsSpend a few minutes before the dive practicing mask clearing and regulator recovery with your instructor.

Use reef‑safe sunscreenTop up before and after entering the water to protect coral — avoid chemical sunscreens that harm reefs.

Recommended gear

Swimwear: Worn under exposure protection and convenient for shore entries and changing.
Towel & change of clothes: Sand and salt mean you’ll want dry clothes for the ride home and warmth after dives.
Reef-safe sunscreen: Protects skin from sun and the coral from harmful chemicals during surface intervals.
Light rashguard or 3mm shorty: Adds sun protection and modest thermal comfort in morning or cooler water.
