Be careful to get on & off the boat, watch the step and be sure hand over things to boatman before step in or out!!

Place dive gears under the seat!! Check BCD & REGs and make sure tank AIR is FULL!!!

Dive guide & boatman will help gear up or set up!! If got back problem please do inform early!! Is easy to set up BCD on surface!!

Only those who strong enough carry please come forward!! But don't put on the fins before BCD!!!

The best entry for boat dive is Back Roll!!

BCD half inflated and NOT Full!! If full can rebound once entry water and cause head hit back the boat!!

One hand hold on to mask & REG and another hand protect head!!

Make sure SPG or other hose aren't snagged or hooked on something!!

Wait till Dive guide or Boatman signal OK then roll gently into water!! Be sure clear the entry to allow other to dive in!!

Giant Stride Entry only when sea condition is calm!! Best entry without fins in any sea condition but be sure hold on to its and put its on when in water!!

After surfacing inflate BCD till float comfortably, signal OK and wait for boat pick up!!! Don't swim to the boat unless is near!!! Always carry a dive inflatable signal tube and underwater light in case of rough sea!!


Please allow Dive guide to come out 1st so that can give helping hand together with boatman!! Only been well trained can come up with fins!!

The boat left side always has the rope to hold on!! One hand hold on the rope and other hand work remove dive equipments such as weight belt, underwater camera or fin!! Don't remove both hand if BCD still on and fins already off!! Suface got current and it can cause drowning!!

After remove fins please wait for turn on the ladder!! Don't wait below the ladder while other climbing up!!

If fit enough than carry up BCD with tank! If NOT just remove it and Dive guide or boatman can easy carry up!! If bad sea condition Dive guide will last to exits water!!
