Frequently asked questions

Will nitrox let me dive deeper?

No. Enriched air increases bottom time and reduces fatigue, but it lowers your maximum operating depth compared with air.

Is a training dive required?

You can complete the SSI course without dives, focusing on theory and cylinder analysis, though application dives are often offered.

Why use nitrox in Raja Ampat?

With multiple dives per day, the longer no-decompression limits let you stay down longer and dive more comfortably.

What certification do I need?

SSI Open Water Diver or an equivalent recreational certification.

When is the best time to dive Raja Ampat?

Peak season is Jan–Apr, Oct–Dec, clearest visibility, calmest seas. Shoulder (May, Sep) is still good with fewer crowds.

Do Indians need a visa for Indonesia?

Visa on arrival. Confirm latest requirements before booking flights.

How long is the flight from India?

12-14 hours · one-way fares around ₹40K-60K.
