MY Nirvana

Notes: Minimum age requirement is 4 years old. Children must be accompanied by a designated responsible adult at all times.

Dive experience: Tubbataha trips require minimum of 40 logged dives and advanced certification, all other trips require basic open water certification. Nirvana recommends all divers adhere to the recommendations made by their training agency regarding the completion of a SCUBA skills review before diving. Most agencies recommend a review if no diving has taken place for 6 months. This can be booked and made onboard if necessary. Evidence of the date of the divers’ last dive should be shown in a log book to avoid problems on check-in. Nirvana reserves the right to restrict diving activities if the instructor has any doubts about diver safety.
