WHAT IS OPEN WATER COURSE?

Discover Scuba Diving is a simple way to experience scuba for the first time without enrolling in a full certification course. You’ll learn the basic safety guidelines, get comfortable with scuba equipment and take your first breaths underwater with a PADI Professional guiding you throughout.

WHO CAN JOIN?

Anyone aged 10 years and above who wants to try scuba diving for the first time can join. You don’t need a diving certification, previous scuba experience, or to be a strong swimmer, but you should be comfortable in the water. You should also be in reasonable physical health and complete the required medical questionnaire before diving.
