| If you are planning to dive during your visit to Kwajalein we salute
you. The exclusive access combined with warm water, tropical marine life
and plentiful ship wrecks makes for one of the best dive locations on the
planet. Here are a few things to consider before getting into the water
here. |
|
|
If you are a certified diver you must go on a local orientation dive with someone from the
Dive Supervisory Council (DSC) before you may dive in Kwajalein waters unsupervised.
If you have already completed your orientation, you must bring your c-card or other printed form of verification for the orientation. |
|
|
You will need to join the club to dive at Kwajalein.
The prices for joining the club vary depending on your circumstances.
You can find the prices at the bottom of the
KSC Membership Application.
You can pay your fees and turn in all signed forms to the DSC member who you go on your local orientation dive with. |
|
|
The other forms you will need to fill out and turn in are the
KSC Membership Application the
KSC Liability Release and the
Safe Diving Practices
form. |
|
|
You can download, print and fill out the
forms in advance to speed things up. |
|
|
You may bring your gear, arrange to borrow some with your sponsor, or rental gear is
available through several vendors on island. Check for rental vendor information on the DSC page. You may also
purchase new gear at very good rates compared to US pricing and have a large variety
of brands through the local KSC dealers on the DSC page of this website. If you will
be taking scuba classes while here, some instructors may let you borrow gear for
those classes. If you are interested in getting certified while on Kwajalein
you should email the instructors to make arrangements in advance. Instructors can
be found on the DSC list. They are the ones with (INS) next to their names.

This sounds like a lot of hoops to jump through but
trust us when we say it is worth the effort. |

After diving here you are going to want to flaunt this
fact to all your friends back home. The items in the
Dive Locker are excellent for this purpose. |
