Diving on Nitrox (also called Enriched Air) has become very common these days. Nitrox divers use a gasmix that has less Nitrogen and more Oxygen. There are many benefits to diving with Nitrox: Longer bottom times for example, which allow you to stay longer at certain depths, ideal for exploring wrecks or divesites that are submerged. Another advantage is that, compared to diving on normal air, your body will absorb less Nitrogen. This is ideal when you are diving on a liveaboardtrip or when you are doing a few daytrips in a row. Compared to the divers that use air, you will notice that your computer will allow you to stay longer at a certain depth. Some people even fill less tired after a dive when diving on Nitrox.

All Courses are to the strictest training standards and we will cut no corners. Courses are done with SSI (Scuba Schools International), unless otherwise noted. The same course can be conducted as a PADI Advanced Open Water Diver course – but there will be a surcharge as PADI requires the purchase of the books and materials as part of the course – SSI does not. Otherwise there is no difference in standards or safety between the two systems.
The course price includes: Pick up from your hotel – water and electrolytes – all dive equipment – certification fees – use of manual during the course (if done with SSI) – lots and lots of delicious food on diving days – good times, great memories and lots of fun!

These are crazy times aren’t they? At this point - we all know the virus is there and has affected almost every aspect of our world. Almost every continent and country has been affected. Almost certainly each of us is directly impacted in one form or another.
However, we are not asking for help with our business. We are asking for help in the community. With tourism shut down, there is no income. In Flores/Komodo a whole generation has grown up entirely dependent on tourism. This was already a marginal area, with very few other employment options available. Now it has become a crisis. We have done all we can to aid and assist in providing for our own staff and their families, but the whole region is struggling. The lack of tourism has impacted every industry and most families.
This has gone from an inconvenience to a disaster. Most parents are unable to provide for their children. We can make a difference, and so can you. 50USD/40EUR can actually provide the basic necessities for a family of 4 for one month! This essentials care package is made up of rice, noodles, eggs, cooking oil, cabbage, soap and drinking water.
