SSI TRY SCUBA DIVING and BASIC DIVER PROGRAMS

Not Enough time for 2 dives? No Problem!

Additional Information

Theory and pool session usually takes about an hour and a half to two hours. Participants of the SSI Try Scuba and Basic Diver Program are directly supervised by SSI Instructor at all times during their in-water experience. We keep groups small for your safety and to give you the best possible experience. We try and keep a one participant per instructor ratio and guarantee no more than 2 participants per instructor for the program in the ocean and no more than 4 participants per instructor in the pool. If you would prefer to do your diving in the morning, please let us know in advance so we can complete your theory and pool training the day before.

We will provide you with water, tea, coffee and some snacks on the boat as well as a sarong (a thin towel) to dry or cover yourself between dives. Lunch will be served upon return in a local cafe right on the shore. If you are going to use sunblock, we kindly ask you to make sure it’s coral reef friendly.
Please, do let us know if you think might be prone to any kind of a motion sickness. You literally need to bring your good mood because we have everything else covered.

Booking

We strongly recommend you book your fun diving or courses with us in advance.
In order to secure the desired dates and spots on our boat, we’ll need a 50% deposit from you. Please, make sure you understand our cancellation and refund policy (below), before you make your booking.
You can contact us by either e-mail, WhatsApp or Facebook messenger in order to secure your spot on the boat for the desired date. We do our best to respond as soon as possible within our operating hours.

Payment

You can make a deposit using various methods of payment – bank transfer, PayPal and Wise.
While in Nusa Penida you can settle your bill using all of the methods mentioned above, with credit or debit card (non-Indonesian cards attract 3% surcharge) and, of course, cash.
There are several ATMs between two harbours (Toyapakeh and Sampalan), power blackouts are possible though. It would be more comfortable to have some cash on you.
Please note, that we are located on a remote island. Though we do have card facilities, sometimes the connection can be lost for hours on the whole island. Settling in cash can often be the simplest and safest option.
There are money exchange offices on the island, however exchange rates are generally way better in Bali, so it’s wise to change your money while in Bali.

Cancellation and refund policy

Life is usually full of surprises and sometimes they are not exactly what we expect.
We strongly recommend you arrange travel insurance for your holiday, which may help you to smooth out unforeseen problems that might occur during your trip (hopefully not).
If you decide to or have to cancel your booked trip or package last minute – we won’t be able to refund.
Upon completing your booking with us we will send you a booking confirmation, indicating your itinerary (meeting time, departure time, expected duration of the experience, amount of the deposit paid and the amount due). Meeting time for all ocean activities is 30 minutes prior to the departure of our boats thus allowing sufficient time for filling up all necessary paperwork and getting the matching size wetsuits and booties.
Our boats departure times on particular dates, as well as the time we start the classes and pool training are based on ocean conditions (tides) and our operating hours. Please, kindly make sure you take the time mentioned in your booking confirmation into account while planning your trip and transfers, allowing enough time for reaching us in time for the booked program. In case you will be unable to reach us in time for the booked program (dive trip, diving course, introductory program) – that will be considered a cancellation of your booking.
We will definitely do our best to help our guests out and reschedule the booked trip, though it might simply be not possible sometimes.
