Dive Boat – Courses
Dive, Descend and Discover
So, you want to be a scuba diver? Get your scuba diving certification in the beautiful warm waters of Kota Kinabalu under the tutelage of certified instructors. For beginners, choose to do your Discover Scuba Diving course first in order to get you further acquainted with being and breathing underwater.
Once you are comfortable with being underwater and have decided to become a certified scuba diver, you can then take the Open Water Diving certification, which will allow you to dive in the open waters no deeper than 18 meters. When you already have ample experience as an Open Water Diver and eager to explore deeper into the blue, you can take the Advanced Open Water Diving certification.
REEF ETIQUETTE
Please Mind Our Manners Out at Sea
- Hands-Off
The ocean is filled with creatures both big and small. It’s best to look with our eyes, not with our hands. Marine-life are extremely sensitive living things. Do not touch, feed or ride them. Interaction with them can cause stress and aggravate them. Dirt from our hands are potent enough to kill delicate sea-life. For example, by touching a coral, we are scraping away the protective layer of mucus corals use as a self-defense against infections.
- No-Souvenirs
Take only memories, leave only bubbles. Don’t ‘collect’ souvenirs from the reef. Everything has its place, and removing them will disrupt the balance. Fishes, Sea-cucumbers, shells or even dead corals, they belong to the reef, some provide food and some are used as homes for smaller marine-life. So keep the reef at the reef and all will be well.
- Keep a SAFE distance
Be mindful of our position at the reef, even if it’s worth a good photo. Do not step on the corals, because
1. They’re sharp. You will get hurt.
2. They’re also fragile, you will destroy them. If you need to rest, float on your back. If you need to adjust your equipment, do it in a seated position.
- Bin-it!
Thousands of marine-life die every year literally because of mindless littering. Plastic bags, bottles and cigarette buds belong in the bin, not in the sea.
- Spread The Word.
Cheers,
