Overview
Discover the underwater world of Kovalam with Bond Safari's Discover Scuba Diving experience. This beginner-friendly program is designed for people who want to try scuba diving without taking a full certification course.
The experience takes around 4 hours and begins with an introduction to scuba equipment, basic safety guidelines and essential diving skills. Participants then practice in a pool or shallow, calm-water environment before progressing to a guided open-water dive.
During the open-water session, you can experience breathing underwater and explore Kovalam's marine environment under the direct supervision of a professional instructor. The current activity listing states a maximum depth of up to 12 metres, with the actual depth decided by the instructor based on the participant's comfort, skills and conditions.
The program is suitable for first-time divers, and no previous scuba certification or logged dives are required. A minimum age of 10 years applies, and participants should be in reasonable physical health.
