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!! Specifically with day trips (camping dive-safaris in the pipeline) in mind, Bertha is also fully equipped with fish finders, depth sounders and GPS systems. This has allowed us to do many exploration dive trips around these waters. All our guides (Indonesian and International) are trained to PADI Dive Master level and have excellent experience of the local dive sites, conditions (above and below the waters) and the habits and homes of all the surrounding marine species. We aim to provide each buddy team with their own guide and keep an absolute maximum of two buddy teams per Dive Master.

Big Boat Bertha 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 site
Canyon is the large pinnacle (which as its name suggests is spilt into two halves by the Canyon itself. A prime site for big fish resident napoleon wrasse and giant sweetlips, and groups of schooling barracuda are often joined by manta and eagle rays, sharks, families of bumphead parrotfish, plus giant morays and turtles.

The resident black tips endless varieties and quantities of reef fish are often complimented with turtles, Napoleon wrasse, eagle, mantas and devil rays.
A true challenge from the other end of the wreck diving spectrum, the Sophia Richmond is strictly for experienced divers only. A massive (90m) cargo vessel lies upright on a sloping bottom between 55-65m with the wheel house at 38m.
