You are never too old! Currently our average student age is 60 years old, and our record is 78! If you are relatively healthy, yet think it is too late to try diving, odds are you are wrong! Just send us an email and we can talk you through it. We are also one of the only scuba teaching facilities in the Philippines that can offer the SDI Scubility certification, so if you need special assistance or have handicaps, we can still certify you accordingly!
Scuba diving requires a minimum level of health and fitness. Chronic health conditions, certain medications and/or recent surgery may require you to get written approval from a physician before diving. To avoid disappointment, download and review the Diver Medical form to ensure you won’t need a physician’s approval to dive before enrolling in a scuba course. (all students over the age of 45 will need the doctors sign-off, on the attached form).
If you are booking a last minute course, we can also have our own doctor come to the dive center for your check (1500 PHP fee)
