  1. Arrival & Dive Planning (15 minutes)

Participants arrive at the dive base and complete registration. The instructor outlines the dive plan, explains how this experience differs from a try dive, and sets expectations for underwater duration and skill focus.

  1. Detailed Safety Briefing & Equipment Setup (20 minutes)

Participants are fitted with scuba gear for comfort and proper weighting. Instructor reviews breathing, pressure equalization, hand signals, fin control, buoyancy, and safe, eco-friendly interaction with marine life.

  1. Shallow-Water Skill Practice (15 minutes)

Before moving deeper, participants practice regulator breathing, mask clearing if required, and basic buoyancy control in shallow water. This phase ensures stability and confidence before reef exploration.

  1. Shore Entry & Controlled Descent (5 minutes)

The dive begins with a gradual walk-in entry from shore. Participants descend slowly under direct instructor supervision, maintaining close proximity and a relaxed pace.

  1. Guided Reef Exploration (25–40 minutes)

Dive a predefined, beginner-friendly route along Nemo Reef, spotting clownfish, parrotfish, butterflyfish, wrasses, and schools of reef fish. Instructor manages buoyancy, pace, and safety; duration depends on air and comfort.

  1. Controlled Ascent, Exit & Post-Dive Discussion (10 minutes)

The ascent is slow and supervised, followed by an easy exit to shore. After equipment removal, the instructor conducts a short debrief, discussing the dive, marine life observed, and areas for improvement.
