Step beyond a single try-dive with an entry-level supervised scuba experience in the Seychelles, learning core skills on Mahe's sheltered reefs before progressing toward full certification. In the PADI system this maps to the Scuba Diver pathway, where you train in the calm waters near Beau Vallon and make supervised dives to 12 metres over coral and granite reef. It is an easy first step that builds confidence, and you can later upgrade it to Open Water Diver.
In the PADI system the entry-level supervised certification is PADI Scuba Diver, which allows dives to 12 metres under the supervision of a PADI professional. It is a recognised subset of the Open Water Diver course and upgrades directly to full Open Water Diver.
Training uses the sheltered reefs near Beau Vallon on Mahe, where calm 26-30C water over coral and granite boulders suits supervised first dives. The course runs comfortably year-round.
