Discover Scuba Diving

The PADI Discover Scuba Diving experience at the Solitary Islands Marine Park is a two-day program designed for anyone who has always wanted to try scuba diving. The course begins with short online theory that can be completed at home, introducing participants to basic scuba principles, safety procedures, and equipment familiarization. Upon arrival, participants join a confined water pool session led by experienced PADI instructors, where they practice essential skills such as mask clearing, regulator use, and buoyancy control in a safe and controlled environment. This initial training builds confidence and prepares participants for their first open water dives. The course is ideal for beginners who want a guided, hands-on introduction to the world of scuba diving while learning from highly trained professionals in a small group setting.

After the pool session, participants complete two guided ocean dives at the Solitary Islands Marine Park aboard world-class dive boats. These dives allow participants to experience the thrill of exploring vibrant marine life and underwater landscapes under the direct supervision of PADI instructors. Full equipment hire is included, and small group training ensures personalized attention and a safe learning experience. Dives are subject to weather and availability, and the course is scheduled over two consecutive days by default, though the second day can be rescheduled if necessary. Participants must be able to swim 200 meters or snorkel 300 meters and stay afloat or tread water for ten minutes. Medical fitness is required, and pregnant individuals are not permitted to dive. This course offers a safe, exciting, and educational introduction to scuba diving.
