Discover Scuba Diving is the ideal way to experience the underwater realm. It gives the participant one trial dive in the ocean under the supervision of a Diving Instructor. The total course takes about 3 hours. It’s actually the same as the first part of the Open Water Diver license course.
After a short lecture participants are suited up and practice some essential diving skills in confined water in the sea. Once the skills are mastered the participants head off to the Open Water for a supervised dive to no deeper than 12m. The confined water session and the whole Intro Dive experience takes place at Kontiki marina resort in Mactan. The house reef at Kontiki marina is teeming with many fish and corals which will make your Intro Dive a very memorable event.
When you arrive at our dive centre first you will sign a medical form and waiver followed by watching a flip chart briefing by your instructor (30 minutes)

Finally exit the water and return to the dive shop to take off your gear, , debrief , rinse your gear and take a shower.
