Diving Facilities
The Dive Center is managed by Arif, backed by several qualified local dive guides with sunny personalities and infectious laughs.
​Rental gear is available, as well as a library of marine reference guides.
​For maximum convenience, the divers' personal
diving gear is stored at the end of the jetty for the duration of the trip, where dive briefings are held and the dive boats are docked.
​​Photographers are welcome to use the air-conditioned camera room for storage and set-up of their camera gear.

Each dive boat is equipped with standard safety equipment such as First Aid kit, First Aid Oxygen, tools, compass and a 2-way radio, as well as dedicated padded camera crates, drinking water and towels on all trips.

Dive Compressors and Nitrox

The Dive operation is equipped with a Bauer Mariner 320-E and a Bauer M250B compressor, as well as a Nitrox membrane system.
​
​The use of Nitrox 32% (Enriched Air) is encouraged and offered free of charge. A Nitrox certification is required. In order to become Nitrox certified, simply ask about completing the course.
Nitrox is air that has been enriched with Oxygen, in order to lower Nitrogen levels.

Advantages of diving with Nitrox are:
  • longer bottom times particularly for depths between 20 - 30m/65 - 100ft
  • shorter surface intervals
  • longer bottom times for repetitive diving
  • reduced Nitrogen levels in the body
  • reduced risk of decompression sickness

​Please be aware that there is NO Hyperbaric Chamber in West Papua (Raja Ampat).
