About Discover Scuba Diving

Dive in Lakshadweep with a PADI-certified professional beside you. No prior diving experience needed.

Our Discover Scuba Diving experience is designed for complete beginners, including non-swimmers. It does not matter if this is your first time in diving gear or you have never been in open water. Our instructors take you through it step by step. You start with a pre-dive briefing on safety and equipment, then learn basic skills in shallow water near the shore. After that a boat takes you to an offshore site for a dive to twelve metres.

We keep groups small or run the dive one-to-one, and you go home with underwater photos and video of your dive. Open to anyone aged ten and over.

Next step

The next step on the PADI path is the PADI Open Water Diver course.
