Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about prerequisites, equipment, and preparing for your PADI course in Komodo.

Do I need prior diving experience or to be a strong swimmer?

For beginner courses like PADI Scuba Diver or Open Water Diver, no prior diving experience is required! You only need to be comfortable in the water and able to complete a basic 200-meter swim (or 300 meters with mask, fins, and snorkel) and a 10-minute float/tread water.

What dive equipment is included in the course fee?

All standard scuba equipment rental is fully included in your course price. This includes a wetsuit, BCD, regulator set, mask, snorkel, fins, tanks, and weights. You are also welcome to bring your own personal gear if preferred.

How does PADI eLearning work before I arrive in Komodo?

With PADI eLearning, you complete all reading, videos, and quizzes online on your smartphone, tablet, or laptop at home. Once you land in Labuan Bajo, you can skip the classroom entirely and jump straight into practical pool session training and ocean dives!

What are the medical requirements for taking a course?

All students must complete a standard PADI Medical Statement before diving. If you answer "Yes" to any medical conditions (e.g., asthma, heart conditions, sinus issues), you will need written approval from a physician prior to starting in-water training.

Are Komodo’s currents suitable for beginner divers?

Yes! While Komodo is famous for strong currents, our experienced PADI instructors choose calm, protected bays and shallow coral reefs tailored specifically to student skill levels to ensure maximum safety and comfort during training.

How far in advance should I book my PADI course?

We keep group sizes small (maximum 4 students per instructor) to maintain high safety standards. We recommend booking at least 2 to 4 weeks in advance, especially during peak diving season (April to November).
