PADI DISCOVER SCUBA DIVING ON GILI TRAWANGAN
YOUR PADI DISCOVER SCUBA DIVING IN ENGLISH, FRENCH, GERMAN OR SPANISH
The PADI Discover Scuba Diver program is an excellent first experience as your first step in diving. If you want to try scuba diving but aren’t quite ready to take the plunge into a certification course, Discover Scuba Diving is for you. While not a scuba certification course, Discover Scuba Diving is a quick and easy introduction to what it takes to explore the underwater world. This program delivers you an immersing experience in the underwater world in just 3 hours.
We teach you the very basics of the practical parts of diving without going into detail about theory and technique, just enough for you to have a comfortable understanding of breathing underwater. After a short briefing, you and your instructor will have an hour pool session with all the equipment to learn four essential skills. After the pool, you will go on an actual dive at one of our many dive sites in the Gili Islands to a maximum depth of 12 meters and a maximum time of 1 hour under the direct supervision of your instructor.
The PADI Discover Scuba Diver program is not a certification program. It’s an introduction to scuba diving, after which you will not have a diving certification or license.
