Description

If you are interested in trying scuba diving but don’t have the time for a complete course, what are your options? Do you want to get a feel for scuba diving before committing to getting your PADI Open Water Certificate but you aren’t sure if it’s for you? If this is the case, then you should sign up for our programme that is an introduction to scuba diving.

You will have the opportunity to go scuba diving at Koh Hong, dive alongside another PADI Professional, observe the marine life of the area, and blow a lot of bubbles. There is no requirement that you have any prior experience diving, but you do need to be at least 10 years old and in reasonably good physical health.

Please Note a minimum of 2 people are required for this trip with a maximum of 8 per booking.
