Scuba Try Dive for Beginners
A first experience of breathing underwater, with no certification needed. An instructor explains the equipment and basic skills in shallow water, then stays close to you on one or two shallow dives. Many boat dives from Samui go towards Koh Tao or Sail Rock, which means a long boat day. Before booking you fill in a medical questionnaire, and some health conditions need a doctor's approval.

Questions & answers
Do I need to be a strong swimmer?
You should feel comfortable in the water. The instructor stays with you the whole time.
I wear glasses. Can I dive?

Does a try dive count towards a course?
With many dive centres it can count towards the first part of an Open Water course. We confirm this when we find your dive centre.
