This beginner-friendly introduction lets you experience the thrill of scuba without a certification. After a detailed shore briefing and practice in shallow water, you’ll follow a PADI-certified instructor into the calm southern reefs, usually no deeper than 40 feet.

These sites are known for their gentle conditions and clear visibility, making them ideal for first-timers. Schools of tropical fish, soft corals, and the occasional turtle turn your first dive into a real underwater adventure, while the small group size ensures lots of personal attention. It’s a safe, relaxed way to discover the sensation of breathing underwater and to see if scuba becomes your new favorite sport.
