Never been diving before?

If you're not sure whether diving is going to be your thing, try the half-day PADI Discover Scuba Diving experience before committing to a full PADI course. After watching a short video in the classroom, our experienced dive staff will teach you essential skills in the pool and then take you for a guided experience dive on our house reef Dibba Rock. If you catch the diving bug, the Discover Scuba skills you learnt are credited towards the full PADI Open Water Diver certification course. Looking for a present for a special occasion? ..how about a Discover Scuba or Open Water course gift voucher!

Looking to continue your diving education?

Once you are certified as a PADI Open Water diver you should look at expanding your diving skills. Enrolling in the PADI Advanced Open Water Diver course will teach you new skills for deep diving, underwater navigation, night diving, and more to build your confidence and experience underwater. Once you've started moving up the PADI ladder many divers work towards PADI's higher level certifications such as PADI Rescue Diver, PADI Master Scuba Diver, and the first of PADI's professional qualifications; PADI Dive Master.
