SCUBA TRAINING PROGRAMS

Introductory SCUBA Lesson & Dive – $239 USD tax inclusive

Here is a wonderful opportunity for you, if you are not (yet) a certified SCUBA diver, to take the fast track. See for yourself, firsthand, what Fiji’s breathtaking underwater world has to offer. Dive Namale’s Introductory SCUBA Lesson & Dive requires no previous experience and is available to all Namale guests.

The adventure begins with you learning about the equipment you will be using on your dive with your instructor. You will become familiar with each piece of gear, understand what it does, and exactly how you will be using it.

The next step has you and you instructor in the pool as you learn the core skills required for SCUBA Diving. You will also practice those skills until both you and your instructor are sure that you are ready for your open water reef dive. The combined Poolside & In-Pool instruction usually takes about 90 minutes.

Once you have completed your pool lesson, it is now time for you and your instructor to head out for your reef dive! Introductory SCUBA dives are conducted on some of the best shallow reef dives in and around the Namale area. After your instructor teaches you about safe boat diving procedures you are ready to go! Your instructor will guide you on a tour of one of Namale’s top shallow dive sites. If you enjoy that first dive and want to continue diving, you absolutely can. You can do additional guided dives with your instructor on progressively deeper dives up to a maximum depth of 60 ft (20 meters) if you wish.

Additional Introductory Reef Dives – $149 USD tax inclusive includes all equipment, and one (1) reef dive with your instructor.

Open Water Qualifying & Training Dives

Completing your SCUBA Certification with your Open Water Qualifying Dives (aka “Checkout Dives”) is easy to do here at Dive Namale. Over the years, our instructors have completed the training for hundreds of divers who began their SCUBA training at their hometown SCUBA Shop, YMCA, College, or Community Center. Open Water Training is fun, safe, and easy, and makes for the start of a great SCUBA diving getaway or vacation.

Open Water Training generally consists of 4 open water instructional dives done with one of our instructors. The 4 dives are done over 2 diving days. In addition to reviewing all that you have already done in your pool training, your instructor will teach you everything you need to know to safely dive in a tropical boat diving environment. Training ratios are never more than 4 divers to 1 instructor, and, in many cases the ratio is 1 to 1.

The cost for the diving, equipment rental, and training is $799 USD tax inclusive.

Dive students must also bring with them their Referral Letter/Form from their initial instructor, a copy of their Medical Form, as well as their Logbook.
