Ocean try-dive (Discover Scuba)
Loved the pool? Take it to the ocean for a real dive, no certification required.
Rates reserved for hostel guests
You loved the pool, now meet the real thing. The Discover Scuba Diving experience takes you on a beautiful dive in Tanote Bay, with no certification required.
Your instructor stays right beside you from start to finish and the group stays small. You drop down to a maximum of twelve metres over a calm, shallow reef and spend around forty minutes among the coral, with a good chance of meeting clownfish, parrotfish and the odd curious triggerfish.
If you catch the bug, we may be able to turn your try-dive into an Open Water course, depending on conditions.
What you need
Bring a swimsuit, a towel and reef-safe sunscreen. No certification or experience is required, but you should be comfortable in the water. The maximum depth is twelve metres and an instructor is with you throughout.
Minimum age is 10. You fill in a short health questionnaire first. One important rule: do not fly for at least 18 hours after diving, so plan your dive before your departure day.
