Thanks Pascal 🙂
Yes, it’s quite likely that the two dive centers mentioned above will already be fully booked. Koranu Fyak is perhaps more likely to have vacancies, and is much more responsive to booking requests made via the website than Yenkoranu is. It would be worth a try! Alternatively, when you arrive in Waisai, just ask the Information Center to call them for you.
We don’t know of any other dive centers that can provide courses and certification.
Um… at Yenkoranu. As it says right there on the page above under the “Raja Ampat PADI diving lessons” heading! 😛
Hi Jeremy
The only homestay dive center that provides an introductory course is Wobbegong Dive Adventures. They are a registered SSI dive school. Prices are provided on the linked page.
Hello Dima
An Open Water course cost IDR 5,500,000 per person.
As it says above: For further details email Koranu Fyak/Wobbegong Dive Adventures.
