\"Discover<\/a>„I want to scuba dive, but I don\u2019t have a diving certificate.“
\n„I want to learn how to dive, but I\u2019m not sure I can.“
\n\u2014 We hear this a lot from our guests. That\u2019s exactly what Discover Scuba Diving is for!<\/p>\n

What is a Discover Scuba Dive?<\/h2>\n

It\u2019s a short, beginner-friendly program designed for those who want to try scuba diving without committing to a full course or certification. At PADI it\u2019s called Discover Scuba Diving (DSD)<\/em>, at SSI \u2013 Basic Diver<\/em>, but the idea is the same.<\/p>\n

How does a Discover Scuba Dive work?<\/h2>\n

Thorough Briefing<\/h3>\n

\"Discover<\/a>It all starts with a theory session. Our instructor will explain the diving equipment, safety rules, how to behave underwater, and the key hand signals used for communication.<\/p>\n

Training in Confined Water<\/h3>\n

This usually takes place in a swimming pool or a calm, shallow area in the ocean. You will learn and practice a few basic skills to help you feel more comfortable underwater \u2014 such as clearing your mask and regulator, retrieving a lost regulator, and using your buddy\u2019s alternate air source. After that, you\u2019ll have a chance to swim underwater at a shallow depth under your instructor\u2019s supervision. This is where you\u2019ll get your first taste of weightlessness and learn how to control your buoyancy.<\/p>\n

Dive in the Open Sea<\/h3>\n

\"DiscoverNow the real adventure begins! On our comfortable and spacious boat<\/a>, you\u2019ll head out to Komodo National Park<\/a> for some real actual dives. With your instructor by your side, you\u2019ll explore the amazing underwater world of Komodo.<\/p>\n

What will you see?<\/h2>\n

Expect vibrant coral reefs in Komodo National Park, colorful tropical fish, and unforgettable impressions. At some dive sites, you might even encounter turtles or giant manta rays \u2014 don\u2019t worry, they\u2019re completely harmless!<\/p>\n

Is it safe?<\/h2>\n

Absolutely! You\u2019ll dive one-on-one (or maximum in a group of 2 : 1) with our professional and experienced instructor. The maximum depth is 12 meters, but if you’re more comfortable staying shallow, that\u2019s perfectly fine too. All gear is checked beforehand, and your instructor will be with you every step of the way, ready to help if needed. We only take you to beginner-friendly dive sites<\/a> without strong currents and with moderate depths.<\/p>\n

What should you bring?<\/h2>\n

Almost nothing! We provide all the equipment, the instructor and all the infrastructure. During the trip, on our boat, you can enjoy drinking water, tea, coffee, fruits, snacks, and a freshly prepared lunch. All you need to prepare is:<\/p>\n
