Rubiah Tirta Divers

Our complete commitment to environmental protection has always been given the highest priority. Long before RTD was even opened, the owner, Mr. Dodent was campaigning for the cause and eventually succeeded in persuading the government to create a national marine reserve in the area!!

In keeping with this, RTD has sent members of our staff for special environmental protection training with 'Reef Check' and we are active participants in their ongoing global survey. We also organize regular beach clean-ups with staff, customers, locals and tourists (participants have free use of SCUBA or snorkeling equipment for the event).

Affiliation:

PADI

Training Level:

up to Dive Master

Boat Description:

We just spoil ourselves relaxing and soaking up the rays on Bertha's sun deck, or sitting and talking with friends on the roof of the cabin as the sun sets behind us on the way home from the day trips. Bertha always provides us with pure luxury!!

After 12 years of constantly getting sprayed with sea water in the cramped and noisy local fishing boats RTD is still the only dive shop on the island that has invested in a much larger boat (H.M.S. Bertha) for the safety and comfort of our customers and staff. Bertha's size enables us to be more flexible with weather conditions as she can handle stronger elements so much better than the smaller fishing boats, which is ideal for the day trips to the outer islands and dive sites.
