Frequently Asked Questions

Most recreational dive courses are 1–3 days and typically include 2–5 dives, depending on the program and conditions. Professional-level training takes longer by design, because it requires more development time, more repetition, and higher performance standards. The exact duration and dive count will always be listed on the specific course page, since every course has different requirements and structure. If you’re traveling on a tight schedule, we can usually plan an efficient timeline; if you prefer a slower pace, you can tell us when booking and we can often customize the schedule and package length so your training feels relaxed and enjoyable rather than rushed.

Yes, and you should. You’ll need to download the MySSI app on your phone or computer and affiliate with our training center (Project Laut). Once that’s done and you’ve paid a deposit, we will issue your course e-learning through SSI. You should complete the reading and any quizzes/exams required in the app before arriving so your in-person time is focused on practical coaching and real-world application. When you arrive, we’ll review the content together to confirm understanding and fill in any gaps. Depending on the course, we may also administer an additional written exam on-site (separate from any final exam you complete in the app), but this varies by program.

No—students do not need their own equipment for recreational and specialty dive courses. We provide the equipment needed for training, including standard rental gear and a dive computer for the course. The main exception is the Instructor Training Course, where candidates are expected to have their own SSI Total Diving System as part of professional standards and consistency. If you already own your own BCD and regulator and prefer to train with them, you’re welcome to bring them—many divers like the comfort and familiarity. As an added benefit, if you use your own BC and regulator, you’re eligible for a 5% discount off the total course price.

Our course pricing is designed to be straightforward. Each course includes all associated fees and the in-water components required for that course. Where dives are applicable, the course includes the dives themselves, as well as any confined water or pool-style practice needed to build skills properly before open water sessions. We also include key operational costs that often get separated elsewhere, including captain fees, tanks, rental gear, dive computer, and marine park fees. In short: you should be able to show up and train without discovering surprise add-ons. If you ever want a line-by-line clarification for a specific course, the fastest way is to message us on WhatsApp and we’ll confirm exactly what’s included.

Yes. Our dive courses are suitable for beginners and nervous divers, as long as the course level matches your experience and comfort. Nusa Penida can be drifty at times, but our team is made up of highly experienced dive professionals who know the sites and how conditions change. For beginner-level courses, we select beginner-friendly dive sites and we operate conservatively. Before gearing up the group, the dive pros will enter the water first to check conditions on-site and confirm the plan is appropriate. That extra step helps ensure training stays smooth, calm, and confidence-building—especially for divers who are learning or regaining comfort in the ocean.

Conditions vary day to day, and currents can be stronger around full moon and new moon periods. We plan training around known and predictable environmental factors—tides, moon phase, wind patterns, and site selection—so the course runs safely and efficiently. At the same time, the ocean is not a controlled environment, and conditions can shift in real time. That’s why we put strong trust and autonomy into our captains and dive professionals to make field calls, change sites, adjust timing, or modify the plan when needed. This flexibility is a strength: it means training decisions are made based on real conditions, not on a rigid schedule.

Yes, private training is possible and it has real advantages for your SSI Night Diving Course in Nusa Penida. With a private instructor, you get maximum attention, faster correction of mistakes, and a pace that matches you—whether you want to move quickly or take things step-by-step. Private training is also ideal if you’re nervous, you want extra buoyancy coaching, you’re short on time, or you simply want a more personalized experience. The main limitation is availability: it can be difficult to book a private instructor with short notice, especially during busy periods. If you want private training, book well in advance so we can reserve the right instructor and schedule.

If weather or sea conditions interfere with your SSI Night Diving Course in Nusa Penida, we adapt. Diving is condition-dependent, and the correct response is always to stay dynamic and flexible—changing sites, shifting timing, reordering course components, or rescheduling dives when needed. The priority is completing training properly and safely, not forcing a session just to stick to a plan. In many cases, we can still run productive training by moving to a more suitable site or focusing on skill development in a controlled setting until conditions improve.

Yes. Combined training is often the most efficient way to progress while you’re already diving regularly. If you tell us which courses you want to bundle together, we can propose a realistic training schedule and provide a package price. The key is matching the combination to your experience level and keeping the pacing sensible so you retain skills and stay fresh. If you’re unsure what combination makes the most sense, tell us your goal (more confidence, more depth, better buoyancy, pro pathway, etc.) and we’ll recommend the smartest course stack.

Bring the basics for boat diving and multi-day training: swimwear, a towel, reef-safe sunscreen for surface time, and a reusable water bottle. A light layer is useful for windy boat rides and surface intervals. If you have your own mask, snorkel, or fins, bringing them can improve comfort and reduce adjustment time—especially if you’re picky about fit. For longer training schedules, rest and hydration matter more than most people expect; being well-rested and well-hydrated makes learning faster and diving more enjoyable across consecutive days.

Send us your dates, your current certification level (if any), and whether you need rental equipment. If you’re already certified, include your approximate number of logged dives and your last dive date—this helps us recommend the right training level and schedule. Once you’re ready to proceed, we’ll guide you through affiliating with Project Laut in the MySSI app, collecting the deposit, and issuing your e-learning. The more information you provide upfront, the faster we can confirm availability and build a smooth training plan with zero friction.
