How to be a good and safe diver? The answer is obvious: you need to practise, refresh and sharp your skills! A dive safari is the best way to merge it all. Raja Ampat, Ambon and Komodo are famous for big fish, beautiful reefs and currents. Some dive spots are underwater mountains, that`s why we have to dive deeper to meet big fish and avoid being caught by the local currents. Our recommendation is to be at least Advanced Open Water Diver or Deep Diver Specialist. When you prepare yourself for a dive safari you should seriously consider purchasing your own SMB (surface marker) and a reef hook (mandatory for some dive sites) or pointer stick which will increase diver safety and comfort to deal with currents and unpredicted situation. If you are not able to buy it in advance, ask our crew for rental or products for sale. To all who have less than 12 dives and are Open Water Divers (max. 18 m depth) MV Empress offers: PADI Advanced Open Water Diver course or PADI Adventure Dives (e.g. Deep, Drift, Night) and PADI Adventure Diver course (you should complete 2 more Adventure dives incl. underwater navigation) to apply for AOWD certificate. If you are interested to join our dive safari and sharp your skills, please contact us in advance: contact@scubafroggy.com Read more about AOWD course here: https://www.padi.com/courses/advanced-open-water...

When you start your PADI course very dive center requires to read and sign standard documents. Here you can find some explanation – what and why you should sign them. Liability Release – This document explains the risks of scuba diving to the participant and is designed as a contract. The diver agrees to assume the risks and accepts something can and may go wrong. None of us are perfect, and when entering a foreign environment with life support equipment, things do happen. Non-agency Acknowledgment – This form explains that PADI Member businesses are not owned by PADI, that dive pros are not employees of PADI, and PADI does not and cannot control the day-to-day operations and decisions of diving business. PADI is not involved in the decisions about whether or not to dive a particular day, the dive site, or what staff members are assigned for a particular duty. That is dive company business. Safe Diving Practices Statement – This document is designed to inform divers of their responsibility to dive safely – not only while a student diver, but after certification as well. The diver’s signature on this form confirms s/he is aware of their responsibility as a diver, and failure to adhere to safe practices could place the diver at increased risk.

The form also advises the diver to consult with a physician “on a regular basis” after completing the course.
