The Discover Scuba Diving program is designed for complete beginners without a dive certification who want to get underwater quickly and safely. Minimal training is needed as we will ensure you have an experienced dive instructor right next to you at all times underwater. You don't even need to be able to swim! With a few simple steps you can get to see the wonderful marine life Phuket has to offer and find yourself surrounded by fishes in nature's aquarium.
Note: This is not a dive certification course. If you wish to get your dive certification you will need to take a two or three day course. Info on available options can be found on our Beginner Courses page.
