Practical information
Specific formalities
Specifics
Before your departure, check with the embassy or consulate regarding the entry and stay requirements for your destination country. You can also find this information on the France Diplomatie website ( https://www.diplomatie.gouv.fr/fr/dossiers-pays/ ).
In the case of flights with stopovers operated by different airlines, also check the entry requirements of the countries you are transiting through.
It is your responsibility to ensure you are in compliance, particularly regarding the validity of your identity documents (for example, some countries require your passport to be valid for at least six months after your return) , visa requirements, necessary vaccinations, and health recommendations. And don't forget to consider any customs restrictions and other potential requirements of your destination or transit country.
ℹ️ Information may change up to the departure date, remember to regularly check official websites.
Equipment
Equipment provided on site
12L aluminium yoke blocks (DIN adapters available for hire), weights and weight belts are included.
Equipment to bring
If you have one, bring all your diving equipment! If your regulator is DIN, consider buying or borrowing a yoke adapter (you can rent them locally). As for wetsuits, the water is cooler in Nusa Penida than in Bali, with currents sometimes dropping to 21-22°C. Therefore, a 3 or 5mm full wetsuit is recommended. A dive computer and a surface marker buoy are also essential. A hook might prove useful on some dives with currents.
Clothing to bring
Bali and its surrounding region enjoy a hot and humid tropical climate. Long, lightweight clothing is therefore ideal for enjoying time on land. Remember to protect yourself from the sun with a hat or cap. For walks, comfortable walking shoes and appropriate socks are recommended. In town, flip-flops are sufficient. In the evening, keeping your legs and arms covered will save you from battling mosquitoes.
