PADI Discover Scuba Diving / group dive

padi 5 star resort

Discover Scuba Diving / group dive experience (for beginners and non certified divers)
Every Monday and Thursday

Have you ever wondered what it’s like to breathe underwater? If you want to find out but aren’t quite ready to take the plunge into a certification course, Discover Scuba Diving will let you try scuba to see if you like it.
The Discover Scuba Diving experience is the perfect program for those looking to try something new this year. It is designed for those who have no experience with scuba diving, but want to know what it’s like to breathe underwater. While this program is not an actual certification course, it will open your eyes to new possibilities and give you a taste of how much fun it is to scuba dive. During the Discover Scuba diving program, you’ll learn what it’s like to wear scuba equipment, basic safety rules and how it feels to breathe underwater.

Discover Scuba diving / group dive experience

Our Discover Scuba Diving / Group Dive Experience includes two (2) dives:
1.Pool Dive: In a safe, shallow environment with no waves, you’ll learn the basics of scuba diving and get comfortable with breathing underwater and using your equipment. The pool is shallow enough for you to stand up at any time.
2.Sea Dive: Immediately after the pool session, you’ll enjoy a second dive at our local dive site from the shore. Here, you’ll meet the local marine life and experience the excitement of diving in the sea!

Dive site

Our dive center is located right by the sea, and our local dive site boasts crystal-clear water, excellent visibility, and a vibrant array of marine life, including various fish species, octopus, and more. Shore diving offers flexibility and convenience—without the need for a boat, we can explore the underwater world at almost any time of day.
The entry is slow and easy from the beach, leading to a sandy, flat plateau at 0-6m depth with pool-like conditions. Here, you'll practice breathing, swimming, and buoyancy while getting used to being underwater. The seafloor is a mix of sand, rock, and seagrass, and the marine life is surprisingly diverse for a shore dive.
Common aquatic life at our dive site in Kos: Schools of fish, octopus, scorpionfish, rockfish, various breams, and more. Occasionally, you might spot amberjacks or baby tunas in the blue. There are also species unique to our waters, including Lessepsian immigrants from the Red Sea.
