	Learning to dive
	Discover Scuba Lagoon Dive / Discover Scuba Diving
	So, you'd like to do a proper dive on the reef? No problem! With one of our Instructors taking very good care of you, you will learn a few simple skills before being taken on an actual dive! You can choose between a shallow lagoon dive or a dive over the reef to a maximum depth of 12m. PREREQUISITES: For both these diving experiences, you just need to be at least 10 years old and have completed a Medical Statement.
	PADI Scuba Diver
	If you've got limited time and can't complete a full Open Water course, all is not lost! You can still become PADI Scuba Diver, which will take 2 days, involves just a little bit of theory, a couple of practical sessions in shallow and then deeper water of the pool before getting out and doing 2 dives for real! With this qualification you will be able to dive with a Dive Master or above. And, when you get home, you can put all this towards your Open Water qualification! PREREQUISITES: All you need is to be at least 10 years old and have completed a Medical Statement. You'll need 2 days to complete the course, then 24hrs after diving prior to flying off the island

In just 4 days, you will cover some simple skills that are designed to help you have a enjoyable and safe diving experience - every time! Our Instructors will train you in shallow and then deeper water of the pool and it won't be long before you get out on one of the boats for a serious dive! Our course is designed to get you in the water, having fun and blowing bubbles as quickly and as safely as possible!
