Experienced instructors hear many of the same questions time and time again from student divers. If you are having any of the same concerns or are wondering about the answers to any of these questions then you are not alone.
1. Can I bring my own dive gear?
Yes absolutely you can. However, we do wish to know in prior if you have DIN or International regulator so we can prepare the air tanks accordingly for you.
2. Can I rent a full dive gear?
Yes you can rent the complete dive gear from us for an additional cost. You also have an option of renting the partial gear based on your requirement.
3. Am I covered with your insurance during my entire period of dive trip?
No, our Third Party Liability Insurance do not extend the coverage towards recreational diving activity. Therefore, you are advised to buy your own diving insurance. If you’re 75 years and above, you’re required to submit your medical statement signed by a physician at least 15 days ahead of your trip to us as the same needs to be approved by our insurance company.
4. Am I permitted to dive if I have a medical condition or under medication?
Yes you’re permitted to dive, however, this is subject to your medical certificate which should clearly state ‘FIT TO DIVE’ and should be issued within the last 12 months. For more information on this, please download the Medical Questionnaire and if any of the answer to these questions is YES, then we require the medical certificate along with your booking confirmation.
5. Can a pregnant women join the dive & snorkelling trips?
No, it’s not permitted.
6. Can we bring along our kids/friends/family members for snorkelling on the same boat as divers?
Yes you can and this is for an additional cost. However, please note, there is no snorkelling guide, therefore, they must know swimming very well.
7. How are we informed about the bad weather conditions?
Our team check the weather conditions on daily basis and if we notice any unfavorable conditions our guests are informed accordingly at least 24 hours in advance. At a times the sea conditions change overnight and under these circumstances we decide about the trip at 7am and keep our guest informed immediately. Hence, always make a point to provide us the active contact number at the time of booking.
8. Is there a toilet or wash area on boat?
We do have a marine toilet and shower in our boat for an emergency use. You can as well use our equipment room for a quick shower.
9. Where is the nearest decompression chamber facilities?
The nearest decompression chamber is apx 40 minutes’ drive from our Marina and located at Royal Hospital, Bowsher, Muscat.
