About Discover Scuba Diving
Dive in Lakshadweep with a PADI-certified professional beside you. No prior diving experience needed.
Discover Scuba Diving is for complete beginners, including non-swimmers. You start with a briefing on safety and equipment, then learn basic skills in shallow water near the shore. A boat then takes you to an offshore site for a dive to twelve metres.
Groups are small, or we 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.
