Question 1

Do I need to be a certified diver?

Accepted Answer

For the dive packages, yes — they are built for certified divers. If you have never dived, start with the Discover Scuba Diving course: a short theory session, a practice in confined water, and then a guided dive with an instructor beside you the whole time. Tell us your level when you write and we will point you to the right one.

Question 2

What is included in the price?

Accepted Answer

The certified guide, private transport from your hotel, and the full diving equipment — tank, weights, regulator, BCD, mask and fins, including the XDEEP ZEOS gear at no extra cost (sidemount and twins are US$ 25 per two dives). Courses also include the SSI digital materials and all certification fees. Food and drinks are not included except on the island trips, which come with buffet lunch.

Question 3

Do you pick me up at my hotel?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Private transport is included in every package. Tell us the name of your hotel and your arrival date when you book, and we agree a pick-up time that fits your day.

Question 4

How is a day of diving organised?

Accepted Answer

Two dives per day, morning and after a surface interval, so a 6 Dive Package runs across three days and a course is spread the same way. Packages are personal and non-transferable, and the dives can be spread over your stay — tell us your dates and we plan them with you.

Question 5

What can I actually see down there?

Accepted Answer

Bayahibe is where the diving happens, and it is not only reef. We run cargo wrecks resting upright — St. George, Atlantic Princess, Monica — reefs like Aquarium and Turtle Reef, and flooded cave systems such as Padre Nuestro and Chicho, which few centres are certified to guide. What you dive depends on your level and the conditions that day.

Question 6

How far in advance should I book?

Accepted Answer

Two or three days is usually enough, and in high season a week gives us more room to plan. If you are already here, message us anyway — we often have space the next morning.

Question 7

What happens if the weather is bad?

Accepted Answer

Safety comes first: if sea conditions are not right we move the dive to another day of your stay, or refund it if that is not possible. We decide in the morning and tell you as early as we can so it does not ruin your day.

Question 8

Is there a minimum age or any health restriction?

Accepted Answer

The minimum age is 10 for the introductory dive and 12 for certification courses. You will fill in a standard medical questionnaire; some conditions (heart, lungs, ears, pregnancy) need a doctor to sign off. Tell us in advance and we will walk you through it.

Question 9

Who will be guiding me?

Accepted Answer

Italo, SSI Instructor Trainer and IANTD Technical Cave Instructor. He runs the centre himself and guides every dive, so you get the same instructor from the first briefing to the last ascent.
