ADD-ONS:
• 15L Tank - The 15-liter tank increases the amount of gas available by 25% compared to the 12-liter tank. It also provides more gas for a longer bottom time.
• Nitrox Tank - Few substantial advantages of upgrading to a Nitrox Tank are longer bottom times, less fatigue, longer dive times and shorter surface intervals.
• Dive Computer - A dive computer provides the real-time dive information you need to dive well. A dive computer takes depth and time information and applies it to a decompression model to track the dissolved nitrogen in your body during a dive. Your computer continuously tells you how much dive time you safely have remaining.
• Hotel Accommodation - Stay in a Budget Double Room at Skylodge Resort. This spacious and cozy airconditioned room can accommodate 2 guests and comes with a complimentary breakfast. It is worth to rest your body after a fun-filled adventure day of diving.
