The PADI Discover Scuba pathway

PADI's Discover Scuba Diving is a non-certification experience that uses the PADI system. If you continue to Open Water, the dive can credit toward your first training dive.

Where you'll dive in Sharm El Sheikh

First-timers dive sheltered reef sites such as Ras Katy and Near Garden, where shallow 0-12m water, easy entries and 20-30m visibility keep things stress-free. The coral gardens hold clownfish, angelfish and the occasional passing turtle in 24-28C water.
