Would you like to try scuba diving for the first time? Or perhaps you did try it but it's been a few years. Doing a discovery dive is a great way to get your feet wet and decide whether or not scuba diving is the hobby for you. Scuba diving along the reefs of Raja Ampat is truly a privilege that one should take advantage of if making the trip all the way to Raja Ampat. Although the currents can be strong in Raja Ampat, we conduct our courses in calm areas where you won't have to struggle with any current.
For the first discovery dive you will be one on one or in a small group with an instructor. After a long briefing given by the instructor you will learn how to use your gear on a basic level. You will also be taught the four basic skills you will have to perform underwater. After doing those skills you will be able to enjoy swimming peacefully along the reef and marvel at the abundant sea life going to a maximum depth of 6 meters. If you choose to do a second discovery dive you can go up to 12 meters.

Next students go on four open water dives with their instructor, practicing skills such as using a compass underwater or releasing a surface marker buoy, while also seeing the amazing underwater world of Raja Ampat. The course typically takes three days to finish. You are required to know how to swim before we can certify you, though our instructors could take an extra day to conduct swimming lessons if necessary.
