First Dive Decoded

Most try dives introduce you to scuba diving. This program introduces you to being a diver.

You begin with confined-water training, learn essential skills and become comfortable with your gear. You then move on to guided dives, where you apply those skills in the Ocean. By the end, you won’t just be following an instructor, you’ll be actively diving with them. 

Many divers finish this program feeling more confident underwater than they expected, while others enjoy the experience for what it is: A structured introduction to Scuba Diving!

If surfacing leaves you thinking, “That was way too short,” there are pathways to Scuba Diver or Open Water Diver Certifications.

First Dive Decoded

  • We’ve got the essentials covered – study material, instructor charges, gear, training dives, photos & videos, certification, snacks & beverages on all dive days, and taxes.
  • Travel, meals, & stay are additional expenses.

First Dive Decoded

  • Yes, of course! If you are curious about the Ocean and comfortable enough to dip your fins, you are good to go. 
  • Additionally, you will be guided by an Instructor throughout. Many first-timers start exactly this way!
  • Knowing how to swim will become necessary if you are planning to upgrade to Scuba Diver or Open Water Diver Certifications.
  • Plan to spend the first 4-5 hours of the day with us & the Ocean.
  • There will be debriefing / theory sessions as well. Scheduled per mutual convenience of the student & the Instructor.
  • Not really. Complete the program and you’ll be recognised as a Basic Diver and Snorkel Diver. Recognition Cards will be issued for these.
  • If the Ocean leaves you wanting more (which it usually does), you can continue towards Scuba Diver or Open Water Diver certifications.
  • The program is intentionally spread across two days… So, no. 
  • Instead of hurried training & rushing you through one quick dive, we slow things down. You learn, practise, settle in – only then do you explore. 
  • The goal here isn’t just to try scuba diving, but to get introduced to it properly.
  • Here’s the fine print:
    • Cancel one week prior, and you get a full refund.
    • Up to 72 hours prior? 50% back.
    • After that, there’ll be no refunds, sadly.
  • But, plans (a.k.a. Life) can be messy, chaotic, or somewhere in between. Worry not, reach out! We’ll tailor a fair solution.
  • No. Learning flows better when you work with the same instructor throughout your program, especially for such a foundational program.
  • That being said, if you have a complicated itinerary, talk to us. We may be able to help figure out an alternative plan.

Crystal clear water, beautiful coral reefs, and plenty of marine life. Safety standards top notch, equipment well maintained. Honestly one of the best experiences of my trip to Andaman. Unforgettable!
