• What kind of dive boat do you use?
  Our dive boat is a professionally built vessel. It is not a converted anything. We went to Island Hopper in the United States for the EVENT HORIZON. The EVENT HORIZON is a 30’ custom dive boat. She is 12’ wide. Her top speed is 30 knots. The EVENT HORIZON has tanks racks, comfortable seating for 15 divers, a fresh water shower and camera tank, a sun deck, drinks, fresh fruits, a dive platform, a dive ladder and a US Coast Guard licensed Captain. Excluding groups we normally recommend a max number of 8 - 10 to ensure personal attention and maximum luxurious comfort.

We are in the final stages of an internship program for locals who want a career in the hospitality industry, specifically diving. Although, we are in the business of doing business, we want to return something to our people who allow us all the opportunity to enjoy our island.
  
• Are photography and video services available?
  Yes, absolutely. Our our dive team are trained in the use of the Nikonos III, IV and V cameras. We have available for rent and training the SEA and SEA motor marine cameras including the strobe. We use NTSC video format. Also we have for purchase several point and shoot disposal underwater cameras good to 30’. We can have your film processed right next door. We will also be able to provide on site E-6 processing. Remember, at your disposal you can stop by the facility and review your day's shoot using our video equipment or slide projector.
  
• I am not a PADI diver do I need anything different?
  No, under the current international diving agreements , no matter who did your initial training you can complete your training via a certified diving Instructor. The only thing you need to ensure is that you bring a completed referral form and a current medical permitting you to dive. Our referral fee includes all the diving equipment you will need with the exception of your personal snorkeling equipment.
  
• I want to complete my certification in Tobago what do I need?
  All a PADI student will need is their academic and/or confined instructor to sign and complete a student referral , bring a PIC and a photo. If your instructor fails to provide them or it is not part of your tuition we do have them available for purchase.
  
• I use a DIN system, are there any special consideration I should be aware of?
  No, we have available for rent a DIN to Yoke conversion kit. Currently, we do not have   DIN systems.

  Absolutely! Once there is the demand to explore the marine world while nocturnal species come alive, we will take you on a real underwater safari.
  
• Are tanks and weights included?
  Yes, for all divers who are currently signed up with SCUBA ADVENTURE SAFARI.
  
• Is there beach diving?
  Yes and no. Although we have many beautiful beaches, the beach diving is sub par. The reef system near shore is better explored via snorkeling versus diving.
  
• I will need to rent equipment, can I get it from you?
  Yes, we have available for rent; masks, fins, snorkels, weights and weight belts, BCD, Regulators with Octs, SPGs and Dive Computers, Compasses, Cameras and lights. If it is used to dive, we have it.

  As a registered diver at SCUBA ADVENTURE SAFARI you are more than welcome to use the personal locker spaces at the facility. The lockers are individualised, safe and secure. Our staff will rinse and hang dry your equipment and make it available for each and every dive.
  
• What is your safety record?
  We believe in safety first. Diving can be the safest sport in the world. Most accidents that occur in the diving environment are related to carelessness. Men and women who observe the recommended diving protocols are able to enjoy their sport of choice for many years. Not all accidents are preventable. However, the majority are and at SCUBA ADVENTURE SAFARI we believe in prevention. Our boat captain and a Divemaster remain on board the EVENT HORIZON to keep a vigilant eye on our divers. We are interested more in your enjoyment than racing back and forth from dive site to dive site. We pride ourselves not in full throttle, wave jumping approach to diving, but a relaxing and enjoyable dive. The difference, your back and equipment will not be worse for the wear.
  
• Do I have to do a back-roll entry just to enter the water?
  Not necessarily, however when diving aboard a pirogue then the back-roll is appropriate. The safest and easiest entry in diving today is the giant stride entry. It allows for the safest and most convenient transition to the underwater world. We enter the water via a giant stride off the dive platform when diving aboard the "Event Horizon."
  
• Do I really have to remove all my equipment to exit the water?
  NO. For safety reasons primarily. Your BCD and Tank are the greatest source of flotation that you carry. In the unlikely event you fall back into the water you will have your flotation equipment with you.
  
• Do you have a camera set-up table and tank on the boat?
  Yes. We are avid photographers and appreciate the need for a functional and sturdy table to work on. The Event Horizon has an air gun to blow dry o-rings. We also have a camera tank to protect cameras during the ride out/in and during the ride between dive sites
  
• Do I have to walk into the surf to board Event Horizon?
  NO. We board via the Pigeon Point Jetty so its all very civilized and dry!

• What kind of dives do you do?
  We offer a two tank morning dive and a one/two tank afternoon dive. We chose this format to allow you ample time to enjoy the other activities on our island
  
• Do I need to make reservations?
  Yes, if you want a guaranteed seat aboard EVENT HORIZON. However, we accept passengers right to the moment of departure. We leave on time. Late comers will be offered the opportunity to dive on the next available charter. As for night dives they are single tank dives.
  
• What should I bring to go diving with SCUBA ADVENTURE SAFARI?
  Your certification card, log book and all your diving equipment. If you need equipment let us know and we will outfit you with the finest quality rental gear!.
  
• What is the maximum capacity of your dive boat?
  The EVENT HORIZON is US Coast Guard certified for 22 passengers or 15 divers. But if you hate a cattle boat as much as we do then you will understand the limit to 8 OR 12 divers for charter groups. Your safety and comfort is our #1 priority. 12 divers on the EVENT HORIZON leaves plenty of room for everyone. 8 divers and less is luxury diving at its best!
  
• How often are your dive trips?
  We conduct two two tank dive adventures per day. They consist of a two tank dive each, with the exception of the night dive which is a single tank dive. We offer morning dives which depart the dock at 9:00am and return at lunch time. Our second trip for the day departs at approx 14:00 and returns before sunset. The night dive departs at sunset. Our special eco-excursion trips are all day affairs. Departing as early as 8:00am and returning before sunset. For more information regarding these activities call SCUBA ADVENTURE SAFARI @ (868) 660-7767
  
• Do I have to dive the Divemaster's profile?
  No and yes. There are several sites that are very unusual. Because of the high speed drift dives we conduct, we do require a group effort. There is safety in numbers. Other than tricky sites no. If your skill level is appropriate for the dive location, have a blast you are certified. We will require that divers who do not use a dive computer follow the Divemaster's  profile. If not, that is why the DIVE GODS created dive computers. Regardless, every diver is required to perform a recommended safety (15 ft/5m for 3 minutes) stop as suggested by DAN (The Divers Alert Network).
  
• Can I use my dive computer?
  I think you know our answer to that, but YES.
  
• I don’t have a dive computer can I rent one?
  Yes, however if you are using it for the first time you will need to take the safety course prior to diving with a diving computer.
  
• What will I see when I make a dive with SCUBA ADVENTURE SAFARI?
  There are hundreds of fish species that thrive amidst the forests of hard and soft corals and sponges. During your dive it would not be unusual to see sharks, turtles and manta rays. What makes Tobago so exciting is the 30 species of corals and the dazzling array of juveniles. Bring your Fish Identification and Coral Identification books.
  
• Is there any wreck diving?
  Yes, the 274-foot Scarlet Ibis, which once provided ferry service between Tobago and Trinidad. The Scarlet Ibis was deliberately sunk three quarters of a mile from Mount Irvine. This ferry allows for excellent swim through like; the main car areas plus through the engine room. There is a 400 lb resident grouper who will greet you as you descend down the anchor line. The bottom is in 100 feet with the relief at 55 feet. However, the majority of the dive is done at 80 feet. We think you will enjoy this wreck. The skill level is considered for advanced divers only because of the depth.
  
• Is there drift diving?
  Yes, the current flows anywhere between 0.25 - 8.0 knots at the most southern tip. Dives like Divers Dream and Flying Reef are examples of the drift diving here. So strong are the current that bubbles may go down before going up. Its a roller coaster ride of fun.
  
• What is the visibility?
  During the rainy season visibility drops to 50 -80 feet, but usually hovers around 100 to 110 plus during the dry season.
  
• Is a wetsuit really necessary?
  Yes and no. During the rainy season the air temperature drops into the seventies and you may find that the second dive a little cooler. But if you are HOT blooded then dive in what you feel is most comfortable. Water temp. is typically 78^oF-82^oF.
  
• What if I am a snorkeler?
  Great, many of our dive sites are compatible for snorkeling. We also conduct snorkeling safaris to Arnos Vale, Kariwak and Mt. Irvine Reefs. We provide the snorkeling vest and we have snorkeling equipment available.
  
• What is the ratio of staff to divers?
  We have a ratio of 5 certified divers : 1 dive professional. However, the ratio may be more personalised depending on YOUR dive comfort level. The ratio will never be greater, only less. We can arrange a private Divemaster if you feel the need. We like to let our divers enjoy the aquatic environment as much as possible. Unless a diver demonstrates a total lack of regard for safety, we want you to dive free of unnecessary restraints.
  
• How many dive sites are there in Tobago?
  Infinite and we dive everywhere - all around the island. The variety of sites cater to the very experienced certified divers as well as beginners.
  
• Are you on island time or do you really leave on time?
  Because there is so much to do with SCUBA ADVENTURE SAFARI, we need to be on time. Many guests want to do jungle safaris and visit the spectacular water falls. Being on time is a necessity.
  
• I don’t want to rent a car in Tobago, what can I do?
  We provide pickup service to and from all our excursions. As far as your need to go diving or on the nature hikes you are taken care of. There are many restaurants and night locales in close proximity to each other at Crown Point.
