Discover Scuba Diving: eLearning
First off, we are proud to be the first and only PADI Centre on the island offering the official PADI Discover Scuba eLearning program. With just a quick scan of a QR code, you can kickstart your adventure on the PADI Training app. This personal mini course takes only about 20 minutes to complete, making it a convenient and engaging way to prepare for your diving experience.
Small Groups
We only allow two students to dive with an instructor for increased safety and supervision. This way we can tailor the dive program to your individual needs.
Your instructor will meet you shortly before departure for your Discover Scuba Dive briefing. They will review what you learned on the Discover Scuba app the day before, sharing additional tips, safety features, and insights about the marine life you might encounter during your dive!
We take it at your pace!
Your adventure begins on our boat trip to the stunning marine park is just 30 minutes away, where you’ll roll into the tropical waters. Firstly, you will get comfortable with your scuba gear and practice breathing at the surface.
Next, you will practice essential skills to build your confidence before going on the dive, including equalizing, regulator and mask clearing. These initial exercises are conducted one-on-one just beneath the surface on a safety line, ensuring personalized attention and guidance.
Then, you’ll embark on a shallow guided tour of the breathtaking coral reefs, reaching a maximum depth of 12 meters. Keep an eye out for the incredible marine life you might encounter, including clownfish, sea turtles, and harmless sharks!
Join us for the Discover Scuba Diving Phi Phi experience and take the first step toward unforgettable underwater adventures!
Discover Scuba: Beach Dive Training Option
Beach Dives: On the morning of your afternoon dives OR 1 day before in the afternoon.
The beach dive experience for Discover Scuba Diving is an excellent choice. Because it’s better for those who are a little nervous or not strong swimmers!
Besides, it gives you more time to settle your nerves and get used to the equipment, which means you can fully enjoy your ocean dives!
Firstly, you will complete those regulator and mask skills off Cabana Beach and practice breathing, swimming and communication in a comfortable, safe, shallower environment where you can stand up!
Furthermore, nobody who chooses the beach option regrets it – It is a great way to start your diving adventure!
Lastly, after completing beach training, we will take you for two dives in the beautiful national marine park that same afternoon or the following morning!
Get Certified!
Lastly, Discover Scuba Diving is not a certification, however if you love it you don’t have to stop. For instance you can go out and enjoy diving again. Similarly, you can continue training that very same day to become a certified Scuba Diver or fully certified Open Water Diver!
