Our whole equipment is regularly serviced. From the boat engine, to the dive equipment, to the compressor. We follow standard safety procedures, regarding maintenance equipment. Starts from changing oil and filters of the engines and compressor, maintenance dive equipment up to hydrostatic test of the scuba tanks.
Because of the current, Raja Ampat can be a quiet tricky dive area. We do check dive, in quiet a dive site with every customer, regardless of dive certification, before entering current. We and you yourself make sure the equipment is well working, even rental or the own and you`re familiar with it. Make sure you`re body is in good conditions and no issues like problem to equalize. We check dive experience and buoyancy and plan our dives, based on dive level and experience. Diving in small groups, beginner groups even smaller. We give briefing before every single dive, show maps of the dive site and repeat the dive signals. We follow Padi dive standards, stay within our limits and dive level and don`t do any decompression dives. We don`t touch anything to protect marine life and the divers, cause venomous species may cause injuries.
All our guides are using SMB (safety marker buoys) to ascend. But we still recommend bringing your own SMB in case you get separated from the group. We also provide dive hooks for every diver, for more relaxed dives even in current.
