Discover Scuba Diving Program (DSD)

The PADI “Discover Scuba Diving” (DSD) program introduces you to scuba diving in a highly supervised and relaxed manner. It is the first program offered by PADI for guests who don’t hold a certification for diving or have never tried diving before and would like to give a go. The participants will be under the guidance of a PADI professional throughout the experi-ence. This two hour program consists of a brief theory session, confined water exercises and a dive on our house reef (maximum depth 12 metres). Participants of this program must be at least 10 years old.

PADI Scuba Diver Certification Course

If you would like to obtain a PADI certification but don’t want to spend four days of your holiday doing it, the PADI Scuba diver certification is the best way to get you started. Within 2 days, you will complete a series of theory lesson, three confined water sessions and two dives in the open water to a maximum depth of 12 meters. After the course the student will be certified to dive to 12 meters but must be under the supervision of a PADI professional at all times. Participants must be at least 10 years old and must be able to float. The certified diver will receive credit towards the completion of the PADI “Open Water Diver” Course.

PADI Open Water Diver Course

The “Open Water Diver” course consists of four days training in theory and practice. On suc-cessful completion, a certification will be issued which opens the door to endless adventures in diving. Guests who would like to avoid the class room sessions and save time of their vaca-tion, PADI offers an “eLearning” course for the theory part. On arrival we will do a quick review of the learned theory and then you are ready for in water action. Participants must be 10 years old to get started. 10 and 11 year olds will be issued a “Junior Open Water” certifica-tion, able to dive to 12 meters. 12 and 14 years olds will also receive the “Junior Open Water” certification, but will be able to dive to 18 metres. Once the diver is 15 years old, the “junior” certification automatically becomes a full “Open Water Diver” certification.

Information for certified Divers

Orientation Dive

Before engaging in boat diving, as required by Maldivian regulations for scuba diving, all certi�ed divers who have not been diving in the last three months and/or divers who have less than 30 logged dives, have to participate in an orientation dive. An orientation dive is a normal dive which takes place at our house reef. The aim is to refresh basic dive skills and to get comfortable with the equipment before joining the boat trips to different dive sites.

PADI Reactivate

Under the scuba diving regulations of the Maldives and as per PADI standards, certi�ed divers who have not been diving for more than a year have to complete a refresher program (PADI “Reactivate”). The “Reactivate” program offers certi�ed divers a convenient, prescriptive, and enjoyable way to brush up basic diving knowledge and skills. The refresher program consists of a theory quiz, a brief lagoon session and a dive on our house reef.

Morning Boat Dives

Every morning, we offer a two tank boat dive to two different dive sites with highly quali�ed, profes-sional guides. Meeting time for the dives is 08:00, the boat leaves at 08:15. We will return to Royal Island around noon.

Swim With Manta

Hanifaru Bay the world’s most renowned manta ray hotspots are just 30 minutes from Royal island resort & spa. Every year between June and November, the lunar tides and monsoon currents trap high concentrations of plankton in the bay’s steep side, attracting manta rays and whale sharks from all over the Maldives. With mantas swimming to the surface to feed, snorkelers can easily experience the thrill of the feast. Please note that sightings are subject to weather conditions and the temperament of these gentle oceanic giants. Hanifaru Bay, a marine protected area, diving is not permitted, but snorkeling is allowed. There are also regulations regarding the dates and times of visits.

Diver Medical | Participant Questionnaire

Directions

Participant Signature

Recreational scuba diving and freediving requires good physical and mental health. There are a few medical conditions which can be hazardous while diving, listed below. Those who have, or are predisposed to, any of these conditions, should be evaluated by a physician. This Diver Medical Participant Questionnaire provides a basis to determine if you should seek out that evaluation. If you have any concerns about your diving fitness not represented on this form, consult with your physician before diving. If you are feeling ill, avoid diving. If you think you may have a contagious disease, protect yourself and others by not participating in dive training and/or dive activities. References to “diving” on this form encompass both recreational scuba diving and freediving. This form is principally designed as an initial medical screen for new divers, but is also appropriate for divers taking continuing education. For your safety, and that of others who may dive with you, answer all questions honestly.

If you answered NO to all 10 questions above, a medical evaluation is not required. Please read and agree to the participant statement below by signing and dating it.Participant Statement: I have answered all questions honestly, and understand that I accept responsibility for any consequences resulting from any questions I may have answered inaccurately or for my failure to disclose any existing or past health conditions.

* If you answered YES to questions 3, 5 or 10 above OR to any of the questions on page 2, please read and agree to thestatement above by signing and dating it AND take all three pages of this form (Participant Questionnaire and the Physician’sEvaluation Form) to your physician for a medical evaluation. Participation in a diving course requires your physician’s approval.

Complete this questionnaire as a prerequisite to a recreational scuba diving or freediving course. Note to women: If you are pregnant, or attempting to become pregnant, do not dive.
