Los Roques Parque Nacional
Information & Rules


A little information and a few rules about our activities in Los Roques.

First, any person who wishes to join our diving services in Los Roques must present a certificate acknowledged by the FVAS (Federación Venezolana de Actividades Submarinas) certifying qualification for using scuba diving equipment. Qualifying certifications include: PADI, NAUI, CMAS, SSI, YMCA, NASD, BRITISH SUBACQUA.

You will have to show our instructors your certificate before starting your diving or when requested by the park officer. If you are not certified, you will be required to take instruction with one of the instructors.

As a safety measure and in view of respecting the rules of the “Parque Nacional”, it is forbidden to dive alone; the minimum group being 2 divers and the maximum 10, accompanied by 1 Divemaster. If there are more than 10 divers, they will be accommodated in two groups, each one with its own Divemaster.

The use and carrying of any harpoons is completely forbidden, the same applies to the retrieval of any form of marine life that may alter the seabed. No touching, sitting or standing in the coral reef. Our guides are very particular with these rules and enforce them thoroughly. You will receive all necessary explanations and be briefed regarding the Parque Nacional rules and regulations before each dive. You will also be submitted to a compulsory aquaticity test.

As a reminder do not dive at least 12 hours before your next scheduled flight, and at least 24 hours if diving for more than two days continuously.

On your arrival at Los Roques, you will be provided with all the equipment for your diving course, if any.

When making your reservation, please inform us whether you will need additional equipment (the dive package includes tank and belts) so we can reserve it for you.
