Refresher Dive
For certified divers who haven't logged a dive in over a year or have fewer than 50 dives, the Refresher Dive course at Lazy Turtle Dive is a vital step. This half-day program is specifically designed to rebuild your confidence and hone essential scuba skills before you explore the dynamic waters of Alor.

You will also practice setting up and using your equipment, becoming reacquainted with your gear in a structured environment. The course emphasizes practical application, beginning with a thorough skills practice session at the start of the dive. This controlled reinforcement ensures you are comfortable with key techniques. Following this, you will complete one open water dive, applying your refreshed abilities in real dive site conditions. This approach ensures a smooth transition back into diving, preparing you for the diverse underwater landscapes Alor offers. Lazy Turtle Dive, a PADI-affiliated center, offers this course with instruction available in English, French, Dutch, and Portuguese. While specific dive site details for the practical session are confirmed upon booking, the focus remains on re-establishing your comfort and competence. The center's commitment to diver development is evident in this targeted refresher program, ensuring a safe and enjoyable return to the underwater world. Prior to this course, you must hold a valid diver certification.

What people ask before booking
Currents range from non-existent to very strong and can change quickly. They are influenced by tides and the moon phase. Full moon or new moon are best for current lovers, while half moons are preferred by those seeking more relaxed diving. The centre monitors conditions closely and selects sites accordingly.
You can bring your own or use theirs. Reef hooks are recommended for certain sites, and the guides can assist with usage. Each BCD has a DSMB, but feel free to bring your own. Practice using them is offered if needed.
Water temperature varies, typically 26-28°C in northern sites and 24-26°C in southern sites. Cold upwellings can bring temperatures down to 17-20°C, and a localized phenomenon called 'Air Laut Dingin' can occasionally cause extreme cold water events around 12°C. 3mm and 5mm wetsuits, shorties, and hoods are available.
Yes, dive insurance is highly recommended due to rudimentary healthcare facilities in Alor. The centre offers DAN (Divers Alert Network) Short Term Dive Insurance, which can be arranged in advance or upon arrival.
It depends on guest preferences. Typically, mornings are for reef/wall dives and afternoons for muck dives. The centre tries to accommodate strong preferences but compromises may be necessary due to having only one boat.
The centre is open from mid-March to mid-December. Visibility is usually excellent (30+m). Current intensity varies with moon phases. While April to November is typically dry, occasional rainstorms can occur due to climate change.
Dive site decisions are made the day before, based on guest preferences, expected conditions (moon phase, tide cycle), guest ability, and coordination with other operators. While guests can express preferences, the final selection is based on the best available sites for the group.
No, cameras are not available for rent, and a private photographer service is not offered. Private guides are unlikely due to the small team and boat capacity, though it might be possible if the centre is not busy.
