OWC

This certification is recognized worldwide and is the best way to become a qualified diver on an adventure that will last a lifetime. The combination of personalized instruction and practical training sessions ensures that you gain the skills and experience of a confident, safe diver. At the end of the course you will receive the SSI Open Water Diver certification.

The introductory dive experience includes 1 or 2 dives with 1 instructor, with everything included. (Maximum of 2 divers per instructor for maximum safety) The first dive will take place at Jemeluk Bay, featuring statues, temples, and plenty of fish and coral...For the second dive, we’ll head to the USAT Liberty wreck in Tulamben—a stunning World War II wreck, 130 meters long, teeming with corals, sponges, and fish... Everything will be included: lunch at the center, tea, towels or a bathrobe if it rains, snacks, water, porters, entrance fees, etc. Because air quality is crucial at depth, we have chosen Bauer’s technological excellence. The “Pure Air” certification ensures that your air is filtered to the highest standards.We prefer to start late in the morning around 11 a.m. because the Liberty site gets overcrowded in the morning for the second dive. It’s too crowded and not enjoyable. (But we’re also flexible if you have activities planned and need to start very early in the morning.)After the first dive, we’ll have lunch, which will allow us to arrive there around 3:00–4:00 p.m., when there’s hardly anyone left. However, if you’d like to start earlier, that’s always an option. (Payment can be made to a French bank account or via Wise with no fees; otherwise, credit card* or cash)We also partner with three hotels, so if you’re looking for a place to stay, please let me know.
