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.
