ScubaTech is based at the Calabash Hotel, which nestles in the sheltered waters of Prickly Bay on the southern coast of the island. The hotel's jetty makes access to the dive boat easy and the location means that dive sites both on the Atlantic and Caribbean sides of the island are within easy reach.
We have three full time diving instructors offering the complete range of PADI programmes from Discover Scuba Diving to Divemaster.
Additionally, we offer the popular PADI and PRONRC Nitrox courses through to semi-closed, closed-circuit rebreather courses, advanced nitrox, decompression procedures and extended range training.
Owned by Carsten Andres and Jochen and Sabine Lenz, the centre offers a complete range of PADI programmes from Discover Scuba Diving up to Assistant Instructor level.

Our Dive Center is opened on 363 days per year, closed every twenty-fifth of December and 1st of January.
Opening hours are from 8.30am until 5.00pm.
For your check-in please bring your certification card, logbook and medical statement (if available and applicable).

Our excursions are starting generally twice a day for two dives each, at 9am and 1.30pm, unless special excursions are scheduled. Meeting time is 30 minutes prior to departure.
Your equipment will be prepared for you and put on to board.
Crusing time to the Dive Sites is between 10 and 45 minutes.

After the first dive, a surface interval of approx. one hour and a refreshment we get ready for the 2nd dive at a different location.
Once back in the Dive Center, equipment will be rinsed and stored.
Obviously you're very welcome to leave your equipment with us in the Dive Center, but ScubaTech isn't liable for any lost or stolen equipment.
For your safety our boat is equipped with a DAN Oxygen Kit, GPS, VHF, life vests and flares. All dives include a guide, as experienced diver, however, you may also simply dive with your buddy.
All divers have to be equipped with a minimum of a regulator with an alternative airsource, a BCD, mask, snorkel and fins, unguided divers also with a dive computer.

 

All our dives are non-decompression dives, also our deeper wrecks (apart from certified Tekkies), so you might consider diving Nitrox, which is at ScubaTech available without any surcharge (Nitrox 32).
The maximum depth is limited to 40 metres, unless otherwise stated or agreed on.
The minimum tank pressure after surfacing is 30 bar.
Follow the buddy system procedures and never dive alone, in case you get seperated from your buddy or your guide, search for not longer than one minute under water and surface then.
Alcohol before or in between dives is not permitted.
For your check-out simply return your equipment and weights and make sure you bring your logbook to have it signed and stamped.
