The PADI Discover Scuba pathway

PADI Discover Scuba Diving is an experience program, not a certification. Participation can later credit toward the PADI Open Water course.

Where you'll dive in Havelock Island

Discover Scuba takes place at sheltered Havelock reefs just off Beach No. 3, where calm, shallow water of 6-12 metres suits first-timers. The clear Andaman Sea shows off coral gardens busy with clownfish, parrotfish and butterflyfish. These beginner sites stay diveable year-round, even through the monsoon.
