​Take a Try Dive: If you're new to scuba diving, consider starting with a Try Dive. This is a great way to get a taste of scuba diving without committing to a full certification course. Our company offers Try Dives, also known as "discover scuba" in Komodo National Park, where you'll be accompanied by a qualified instructor who will guide you through your first underwater experience.  This will give you a great introduction into what if feel like to experience the amazing underwater world of Komodo.  All while being accompanied by a trained professional scuba diving instructor. 

Get Certified: If you decide to continue with scuba diving, we recommend getting certified. Our company offers Open Water and Advanced Certification courses in Komodo National Park. These courses will teach you the necessary skills and knowledge to dive safely and confidently in open water.  You will learn many skills to help you feel better about diving and practice all the safety rules for proper scuba diving.
Plan Your Dive: Before diving, it's important to plan your dive. Talk with your instructor or dive guide about the dive site, depth, and any potential hazards. Know your limits and communicate with your dive buddy and guide throughout the dive.  Our professional dive guide plan every trip and go over the briefing before every dive.  In each briefing, you will learn about the dive sight, the geography, the challenges, different features to look for, different ocean life to look for, and go over all the safety information that is needed for each dive. 

Practice Good Buoyancy: Good buoyancy control is essential for safe and enjoyable diving. Practice maintaining neutral buoyancy and avoid touching or damaging the marine life.  After you do a few dives, you will start to learn how to adjust your buoyancy by adjusting you BCD, weights, and as well, you breath.  I good diver and completely control his or her buoyancy just by breathing in and breathing out. 

Protect the Marine Environment: As scuba divers, we have a responsibility to protect the marine environment. Follow the "leave no trace" principle and avoid taking anything from the ocean.  The oceans are an amazing place to see and experience and is one of the main reasons Komodo National park is so famous.  At every briefing, our guides always go over what you may see our your dive and remind you about why you should help to protect this amazing area for years to come.  

Be Prepared for Currents: Komodo National Park is known for its strong currents. Be prepared to dive in currents and practice proper techniques, such as using a reef hook or deploying a surface marker buoy (SMB).  For Komodo Try dive courses and Komodo Open water courses, we will not be diving in strong currents, but it is always good to be prepared.  The tides and current in Komodo can change rather quickly, so listening to you dive briefing and following the instructions is always important.
