Good to know

Questions everyone asks

I certified with PADI years ago — can I do your courses?

Yes. PADI, SDI and NAUI certifications are recognised for our continuing education courses and refreshers.

Do I need a medical?

Every diver completes the RSTC Diver Medical questionnaire before getting in the water. All “no” answers and you're cleared to dive. Any “yes” needs a doctor's signature first — we send the form at booking so you can sort it at home.

How long before my flight home?

Allow at least 18 hours between your last dive and any flight. Don't book a course right up against your departure.

When do courses start?

1 October 2026. Register your interest below and you'll be the first to know when bookings open — founding-class spots will be limited while our instructors run small early groups.
