The Diving Centre

The manager of the newly built diving centre, located directly on the Beach is Dieter Merz (Düde) Dieter Merz (Düde) from Switzerland.
It is possible that many of you already know Düde from when he was in Kenya. After years of searching he has finally found a new home with us.
His team of diving instructors and dive masters speak a variety of languages and instructs to both Barakuda (CMAS) and Padi standards.

There is a very good house reef directly in front of the diving centre. Beach dives, night dives and also the free water dives during instruction are all possible.
Especially interesting : A section of our house reef in Pemuteran is part of the biggest Project worldwide to breed coral.
For a distance of about 150m , wire cages have been placed at a depth of 5m in the water. The minor electric current (approx. 6 - 8 volts) which runs though these cages is harmless, even by direct contact, but it results in the corals here growing at a speed 4 times quicker that in other areas. It is interesting to see the fish and fish shoals which seek refuge among these corals.
The rest of our house reef also promises interesting discoveries and fans of macro photography will be delighted.

The new centre is directly on the Beach of the Pondok Sari Resort and will be equipped - as are all WERNER-LAU-diving centres - to cater for the special requirements and desires of the divers.
In order to meet all demands, there is always enough equipment available for hire. e.g.

• 30 BCD's Jackets (Scubapro )
• 30 Regulators with octopus, depth gauge and inflator (Scubapro)
• 60 Sets comprising of mask, fins and snorkel (Seemann)
• 30 wetsuits (3 mm Shorties)
• 20 dive computers (Aladin)
• 10 underwater torches
• 2 underwater cameras
• 1 underwater video camera

To ensure that everything runs smoothly, we have 60 Aluminium tanks (12 liter, DIN + INT) available. The tanks are filled from a Bauer Compressor.
A well equipped workshop is also available for use by the guests if needed. The members of our staff are always ready to give advice or lend a helping hand.

Both the privately-owned and the hired equipment are kept in the diving centre.
To provide our guests with an all round service the equipment will be loaded onto the boats by members of our staff, who at the end of the trip will also bring the equipment back, rinse everything in clear water and store all the equipment in the diving centre.

As well as diving from the beach there are also a large variety of diving sites on offer which can be reached in less than 10 minutes by boat.
