What To Expect

Your day will begin with a full briefing form one of our experienced SDI Instructors. We will then prepare your scuba diving equipment and take you to a nearby pool. In the pool we will conduct a series of exercises to build you skills and confidence so that when we go to the ocean you will be ready to make the most of your time exploring the underwater world.

After a short break in which you can grab some lunch from nearby stores we will take you to our dive boat and will complete two dives on two different coral reefs. The dives will have a maximum depth of 12m/40ft and typically last 40-60 minutes depending on levels of skill and comfort.

During the dives you are likely to see a huge range of tropical fish and beautiful corals. We sometimes see impressive moray eels and graceful turtles during the dives too, so that is something extra special to look out for.

You must be medically fit for diving. Unfortunately Top10Adventures® / Top10Adventures® prevent us from providing you with a link where you can check your medical eligibility for diving, we will send you a link once you sign. The website is: s c u b a m e d i c a l . c o m

Frequently Asked Questions

(9)

Q: How soon can I fly in an airplane after Scuba diving?

A: Participants in the Two reef discovery dives with professional instructor (no experience necessary) cannot fly in an airplane within 24 hours of their dive. The main concern with scuba diving and flying is decompression sickness (DCS). Your body needs adequate time during an ascent to off-gas excess nitrogen, or you can form bubbles in your bloodstream, possibly leading to DCS. Read more Jun 2024
