What is a discovery dive?

Discovery diving is an Initiation to scuba diving. It is designed for all those who want to discover the sensations of diving. But without having to spend the few days necessary to become a certified diver. Discovering diving in Bali is quite a nice experience to bring back from your trip, isn’t it?

IF you plan it from the start, then your first discovered dives will be taken into account in the certification course. We have indeed lots of stories of divers who started with a discovery dive and went on very far!

We start discovering diving in the pool

We will first pick you up from your hotel in Nusa Penida in the late afternoon to bring you to the center and choose your equipment. After a short diving theory course, it’s time to go swimming and “breathe underwater. You calmly familiarize yourself with the diving equipment in the small pool in shallow water.

And then you will dive into the 3 meter deep pool to learn to equalize your ears in a reassuring environment. That’s it, you are ready to dive in the beautiful waters of Nusa Penida! But before that we will probably enjoy the beautiful sunset from Dune Penida dive center.

Then let’s go diving in Nusa Penida underwater!

We will pick you up the next morning at your hotel and we will directly reach the port of Toyapakeh. From there we will go to the first dive spot for your first underwater discovery dive around Nusa Penida. After a well deserved fruit salad and coffee, we will make a quick assessment of the first dive. Soon, you will then return to the colors of the aquatic world for the second discovery dive. With a little luck you may have seen Manta rays during one of the two dives. Finally (that soon ?), we will take you back to the hotel. And, that’s it, you’ll become a member of the great scuba divers family !
