LEARN TO DIVE
Namale guests can experience Fiji’s extraordinary underwater world even if they have never tried SCUBA diving before.
Whether you want to experience SCUBA for the first time or complete your certification, the professional and experienced team at Dive Namale has a program for you.
Our Introductory SCUBA Lesson & Dive teaches the core skills needed to safely experience one of our beautiful shallow reefs with an instructor. If you have already completed the classroom and confined-water portions of a recognized SCUBA certification program, you can complete your certification at Dive Namale through our Open Water Referral Program.
Introductory SCUBA Lesson & Dive
$250 USD | $350 AUD | $548 FJD
If you are not yet a certified SCUBA diver, this is an opportunity to experience firsthand what Fiji’s underwater world has to offer. Dive Namale’s Introductory SCUBA Lesson & Dive requires no previous diving experience and is available to Namale guests.
Your experience begins with an introduction to the SCUBA equipment you will use during your dive. Your instructor will explain each piece of equipment, what it does, and how you will use it.
Next, you and your instructor will move to the pool, where you will learn and practice the core skills required for your first SCUBA dive. Poolside and in-pool instruction generally takes approximately 90 minutes. Once you and your instructor are comfortable with your skills, it is time to head out for your open-water reef dive.
Your instructor will explain safe boat-diving procedures before guiding you on a tour of one of the beautiful shallow reef sites in and around the Namale area.
If you enjoy your first dive and want to continue, additional guided reef dives can be arranged with your instructor, allowing you to progressively explore deeper sites up to a maximum depth of 60 feet (20 meters).
Additional Introductory Reef Dives
$156 USD | $218 AUD | $342 FJD
Includes all required SCUBA equipment and one guided reef dive with your instructor.
Open Water Referral — Qualifying & Training Dives
If you have already completed the academic and confined-water portions of your SCUBA certification program, you can complete your Open Water Qualifying Dives, sometimes referred to as “checkout dives,” with Dive Namale.
Over the years, our instructors have completed the open-water training for hundreds of divers who began their SCUBA education with dive centers, colleges, community programs, and other recognized training providers.
Open Water Referral training generally consists of four open-water instructional dives conducted over two diving days with one of our instructors. In addition to reviewing the skills you learned during your confined-water training, your instructor will introduce you to safe diving practices in a tropical boat-diving environment.
Training ratios never exceed four students to one instructor (4:1) and, in many cases, training is conducted one-on-one.
Open Water Referral Training
$835 USD | $1,169 AUD | $1,829 FJD
Includes all required SCUBA equipment rentals and four Open Water Qualifying Dives conducted over two diving days.
Advance reservations are required. Open Water Referral Training must be arranged at the time you make your Namale Resort & Spa reservation.
Students must bring their Referral Letter/Form from their originating instructor or training center, Medical Form, and Logbook.
