If you've always wanted to try scuba diving, there's no better time than now that you're in the Maldives. Enjoy this simple and fast introductory course to scuba diving.

Learn the basic safety guidelines, how to use your scuba diving equipment and other skills you need as a diver. By the end of the course, you'll be able to enjoy swimming and exploring the underwater world in the Maldives.

This is perfect for beginners who are interested in trying to scuba dive for the first time.

Ahmed Abden was a fantastic instructor throughout. We checked in the day before as advised, we completed straight forward forms and e-learning. On the day, we had plenty of time to answer questions and get the most out of the experience. We had time on the pool to get used to the equipment and practice. I found it hard to expel air from my mask but Ahmed guides us through simple techniques and helped me stay calm, essential! The ocean dive was breath taking including seeing a stingray!

Super Einweisung. Habe mich immer sicher gefühlt

Es wurde sich sehr viel Zeit genommen. Man bekam in allen Bereichen Hilfestellung und ich fühlte mich sehr gut betreut!

The instructor Remi was fantastic, very knowledgable and a great teacher. My partner and I hadn’t dived before but we both felt confident after the practise session. The main dive started from a secluded area on the island into several large corals/ rocky areas with an abundance of sea life. We even had a close encounter with a ray! Would absolutely recommend.
