Learning to dive is an experience that changes your life. Allowing yourself to breathe underwater is strange at first, and the feeling of weightlessness is both exhilarating and freeing. Most people find the time they spend underwater is both deeply relaxing and full of awe-inspiring beauty. It can be challenging to overcome your fears and anxieties, but we are here to help you and to make your underwater experiences as rewarding as possible. Narima‘s 3-tiered swimming pool is a great way to ease into a course gently.
We are keen for you to learn at your own pace and encourage our students to take as much time as they need to get confident in the pool before completing the open water sections of the course. We keep group sizes small to ensure you receive maximum benefit from your tuition. Our emphasis is on safety, fun and personal service within a relaxed and stress-free environment.
If you’ve never dived before and would like to try an introductory dive then Discover Scuba Diving is the course for you. Discover Scuba Diving is a 1-2 day course that will allow you to try scuba diving safely, with minimal training, under the direct supervision of a PADI Instructor. Practice in the swimming pool first, then progress onto the dive boat to make 2 dives at Ko Haa Lagoon. This will also allow you to dive under the supervision of a PADI professional anywhere in the world to a maximum of 12 metres for 1 year.
If you want to dive straight in for full certification, then the 4-day PADI Open Water Diver Course gives you a Licence to Dive anywhere in the world for the rest of your life! (3-4 days – You can reduce this to 2.5 – 3 days if you enroll on the PADI eLearning system before you come on holiday). Get started right now with the new on-line PADI eLearning system. Save valuable holiday time and complete the theory part of the PADI Open Water Course on-line, before you come on holiday. Give yourself up to a year to complete your online knowledge development, and gain lifetime access to the PADI Open Water Diver Manual online.
If you’re short on time, but want a certification then the PADI Scuba Diver upgradeable restricted certification, which can be completed in just 2 days, may be the course for you. (1.5 – 2 days)
Kids can learn to dive too, the PADI Bubblemaker Course allows kids as young as 8 years old to try scuba in the pool, and if you’re aged 10+ you can participate in the PADI Discover Scuba Diving, Junior Scuba Diver or Junior Open Water Courses.
