Travel on Day 1 is only possible if you arrive before 9am.
Travel on Day 3 is not possible, as the last boat off the island is 4pm.

If you confirm your course booking by placing a deposit of MYR200, we can email the videos and theory exercises to you to complete before arriving here so that you can save some time on the course when you arrive at Anti Gravity Divers.
This will give you the option of completing 50% of the theory portion of the course before arriving here allowing you more time to enjoy the island.

• You will need sufficient rest the night before (travel by overnight bus is not advised),
• You need to be reasonably fit and have sufficient energy levels to be able to follow this schedule.

• This schedule may involve having to skip lunch on both days and only making do with snacks.
• We reserve the right to advise you to stop at 'Scuba Diver' if we feel you are unable to complete the full Open Water Course in the 2 days specified, as we still want to maintain our quality of training.

This is quite a challenging schedule, but if 2 full days is all you can spare to do the course then we are prepared to help you do it in this time frame.
