The dive trips
The main dive sites are in Pulau Weh's Marine National Park and within close reach (with our boats 10 to 30 minutes max!), so usually each dive is a separate boat trip, spending surface intervals relaxed back on the beach, allowing for maximum flexibility in programming dives according to your wishes. In general we schedule 2 separate boat trips per day, except on Friday morning. Because we follow the local fisherman tradition, there is no diving possible from Thursday night 19:00 till Friday afternoon 14:00.

Next to the day dives, we can arrange DAWN, DUSK and/or NIGHT dives. And we plan multilevel dive profiles to prolong bottom time safely up to a maximum of around an hour to 70 minutes. During specially arranged multiple-tank (exploratory) day trips to further dive sites we provide a packed lunch on the boat, another beach or a lunch in a restaurant, depending on the destination.

The guides & instructors
The basis of our team of guides consists of local Indonesians, who`speak English as well. They are all from the island, have learned diving here, know the dive sites very well and love their ocean! Ton & Marjan got addicted to diving themselves in Holland more than 20 years ago. They were the first instructors here on Pulau Weh to start teaching, at that time still with classrooms sessions under the palm trees.

The diving equipment
For rental equipment we only use the top-model Aqualung Regulators with Suunto consoles. All our Aqualung/Seaquest BCD's carry Surface Signaling Balloons. We offer a wide range of masks, including masks with prescription lenses, full foot and open heel fins, shorties and long wetsuits. We have 6 Suunto dive computers for customers available.

We use 2 silent Bauer Verticus Compressors, which each can fill 4 tanks at a time and are equipped with fully automatic electronic Securus filter monitoring, so we have guaranteed clean air stations.

We have 90 tanks. Most of the tanks are the "standard" aluminum 80 cu ft size, but we also have smaller sizes 50, 65 and bigger 100 cu ft sizes on request. Available with INT and DIN valves.

We have a small first aid kit and oxygen set on the boat, and a big oxygen set on our premises.

The boats
We have a fiber speedboat with 2 x 115 PK outboard engines and 3 specially built wooden boats, customized for diving with tank racks n seats, with either two 40 PK outboard engines, or three for the further trip destinations. We can comfortably take a maximum number of 10-12 divers per boat, not including staff. To avoid damage to the underwater environment, we don't use any anchors.

The diving conditions
We dive all year round. To get an impression of the diving, have a look at the dive sites description. The landscapes on all sites are magnificent and different from each other. Average visibility is 20+ meter, with often enough peaks to well over 30, especially deeper down. Water temperature is usually 28 - 29 degrees Celsius, with sometimes colder upwellings with extreme viz of over 40 m from the depths of the open ocean around Weh.
