PADI Courses

Professional tuition

We have dived and worked as PADI Instructors for several years and in different parts of the world before coming to Indonesia and have taught hundreds of people how to scuba dive. Patience, safety and fun are our 3 top priorities.

We always take plenty of time with our students and never rush someone who needs a bit more time. Training groups are small and often one-to-one!

An amazing location – learning to dive on Bangka

Bangka is a fantastic place to learn how to scuba dive with calm waters and plenty of sandy bays which are perfect for training! There is also a huge variety of amazing marine life here, from tiny pygmy seahorses to the enormous dugongs!

Medical Requirements for Courses & Discover Scuba Diving

For your safety, all students and Discover Scuba Diving participants are required to complete the standard diving medical questionnaire before entering the water.

If you answer "Yes" to any question, the form must be reviewed and signed by a qualified medical professional before you arrive.

As we're located on a remote island, we do not have access to doctors who can complete these assessments on-site. If medical clearance is required, we recommend arranging it in your home country or well in advance of your trip to avoid delays or disappointment.
