Try scuba for the first time with the PADI Discover Scuba Diving experience on Neil Island (Shaheed Dweep), starting in waist-deep shallows before a supervised dive to around 12 metres. Even non-swimmers can join, and your first breaths often come amid clownfish-filled anemones at Nemo Reef.
PADI Discover Scuba Diving is an instructor-led introduction (not a certification) that registers your dive with PADI. The experience can credit toward an Open Water course completed within six months.
Discover Scuba dives stay on Neil's calm, sheltered shallow reefs, often Nemo Reef (5-12 m), where clownfish, parrotfish and small reef life appear at gentle depths. The warm 27-30C water and light currents from November to May make for an easy, reassuring first dive.
