If you have ever thought about diving this is the best location to try it! After watching a short video showing the basics of scuba diving, you will join your instructor in shallow water to learn the use of scuba equipment and practice a few skills. This is followed by a dive on the reef where you will be able to see exotic marine life like turtles, eagle rays, anemone fish, butterfly fish and many more. The Discover Scuba Diving course is not a full certification course, but enables you to dive with a PADI professional to a depth of 12m/40ft during your vacation at Vatulele and can be credited towards the PADI open water course in the future.
PADI Open Water Course
The PADI Open Water Certification opens a whole new world of fun and excitement and is recognized internationally. You learn the basics of scuba diving, practice some skills in shallow water and then do 4 exhilarating dives on the reef. Here you will have the opportunity to interact with the prolific marine life of Vatulele’s reef in a safe environment. If you have already completed the Discover Scuba Diving course, this dive can be credited towards your certification. The PADI Open Water course can be done over 3 to 4 days.

A total of 5 adventure dives are needed for the advance course. Starting with a navigation and deep dive you can choose 3 more dives from drift, boat, multi level, peak performance buoyancy, underwater scooter or search and recovery to complete the requirements.
