Course overview

Begin diving in Coron with an entry-level supervised programme that takes you beyond a single try-dive without committing to the full Open Water course. Over two days in warm 27-29C water you develop confined-water skills and make supervised dives to a maximum of 12 metres on sheltered sites, possibly including the shallow Lusong Gunboat. It is a relaxed, confidence-building introduction to scuba diving.
