Before undertaking a PADI diving course with us you must read and understand the PADI Medical Statement and seek the advice of a doctor in case of doubt. In any case if you answer YES to any of these questions then you must get written permission to dive from a doctor, using the attached form, before coming to the island. Click above to link through to a copy of this statement.
e-LEARNING
The PADI e-Learning system allows you to complete all the theory and tests on-line before you get here. This means that when you come to the island you save time on the course, so for instance the Open Water course takes 3 days with us instead of 4. PADI charge you direct for e-Learning and this varies by course, but for Open Water it costs $138. During the registration process you nominate a PADI dive shop, which then receives a rebate of part of the fee you have paid. If you register using the buttons on this page then you will be affiliated with Dolphin Dive and we then charge you only $220 to complete the inwater sections of the course with us. If you're planning to do the course over the busy holiday periods please check availability in advance before signing up with PADI, to avoid any potential disappointment.
