Scuba Diving In Trincomalee Beginner Level

Day 1: Pigeon Island Marine National Park, Sri Lanka

You learn the basic safety guidelines and skills needed to dive under the direct supervision of a PADI Professional. If you make an open water dive, you’ll practice a few more skills in shallow water to prepare for your adventure. Get ready to: Learn about the basic scuba equipment and how to use it underwater Find out what it’s like to breathe underwater. Learn key skills that you’ll use during every scuba dive. Have fun swimming around and exploring. Hear about becoming a certified diver through the PADI Open Water Diver course. After the experience you’ll get a Certificate of Recognition (not a scuba certification) and we register you in the PADI system. This certificate recognizes that you have attended and satisfactorily completed a PADI Discover Scuba Diving program. Because of the high demand on fun dives in the morning we decided to usually start Discover Scuba Diving in the afternoon (in some cases, in the off-season, there is also the possibility to start in the morning). You can start in the afternoon, at 13:15. Please contact us AT LEAST one day before, so that we can organize the course groups and reserve a spot for you. Arrival Upon your arrival at the base, you will be welcomed by one of our local and international Divemasters and Instructors. You fill out the necessary paperwork, medical statement. Preparation First you start in the classroom with theoretical part which includes PADI video and a short quiz. Then you are sized up for your equipment, we give you fins, mask and wetsuit. Once Instructor set up all the equipment, you learn basics about scuba diving. Then you have a comprehensive but compact dive and boat briefing with your group. This consists of important information about the dive sites, safety procedures, and attractions of the dive site, marine life, signs & signals. Departure (9:00 | 14:00) Finally, we cast off! Once the equipment is loaded on the boats with the help of our staff, we take off to our dives sites, of which most can be reached within 10 minutes. Diving Time passes quickly underwater as you are surrounded by all the fish. You will enjoy spectacular marine life and first time breathing underwater. One dive usually takes a maximum of 35 to 45 minutes depending on your breathing and air consumption. If you loved your first experience, you could also do a second dive and get even more comfortable. And if you have more time to spare and cannot resist getting into the water, you could continue on to doing the PADI Open Water Course. Return After your return to the diving school, our Divemaster helps you to identify different species that you witnessed during your dives. Diving helps create a bond between people, all coming from different parts of the world, but all sharing the same love for the ocean, and we provide a platform for just that.
