We have a range of courses for people who would just like to try diving for the first time or want to continue their education and take the first professional steps of their diving career.

All of our students receive the PADI e-Manual upon booking. The e-Manual gives you the benefit of preparing for the course beforehand while helping to reduce paper!
Believe it or not but a lot of people that travel to Komodo island have no idea that, besides the famous Komodo dragons, this is one of the best dive destinations in the world. So what are the options for people who have never dived before?
In our blog, we lay out in detail the 2 best options you can choose from if you want to dive in Komodo but have never tried diving. There is the Discover Scuba Dive for people who just want to have a tester how it feels diving underwater for the first time or the Open Water Course to immediately go for your first-level certification in diving. The best part is you can do both! Not sure which diving experience is best for you? Read our blog!

While our boat cruises between the stunning islands, we teach you the introduction to safety rules, scuba equipment, and basic diving concepts on the way to the first dive site. The first dive begins with some basic skills in the shallow sea to make you feel more comfortable underwater. After completing the skills you go explore the exciting underwater world of Komodo. Your PADI Instructor will be by your side ensuring your safety while taking you to a world filled with colorful corals and tropical fishes.
