Discover Scuba Diving
EXPLORE YOUR COURSE
Try scuba diving for the first time and explore the ocean's wonders safely and easily.
About the experience
Ever wondered what it’s like to breathe underwater? The PADI Discover Scuba Diving program is a beginner-friendly introduction experience, not a full certification, giving you a taste of the underwater world without committing to the full PADI Open Water course.
Choose a single dive at Kata Beach or a two/three dive day trip to the Racha Islands, all under the close guidance of a PADI Instructor (max 2:1 ratio). You’ll learn the basics in shallow water before heading out to explore, making it one of the easiest and most exciting ways to experience diving in Phuket.
Simple, safe, and seriously good fun, it might just be the highlight of your trip.

The Best Part
There is nothing like breathing underwater for the very first time. It takes a little getting used to, after all, human beings weren’t designed to do that – but after a few minutes of awestruck wonder, most participants realize how easy scuba diving really is. The biggest challenge instructors have with the PADI Discover Scuba Diving program is not coaxing participants into the water, but coaxing them out when the program is over. The fun part? It’s all fun!
Taking Photos
Under PADI safety standards and a new regulation from Thailand’s Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment, scuba diving trainees and instructors are not permitted to take underwater photos or videos during training dives, including PADI Discover Scuba Diving.
As a professional PADI 5 Star CDC Centre, Aussie Divers Phuket strictly follows these rules to ensure your safety and to help protect Thailand’s delicate coral reefs and marine ecosystems.
At Aussie Divers Phuket, we will always place your safety and environmental responsibility above the need for photographs.
If you’d like photos of your experience, we can arrange for a dedicated underwater photographer to be onboard the boat. Note that prebooking is essential. Please speak with our team to arrange this.
