Try diving, experience scuba diving, introduction to scuba all come under one name. This type of scuba diving is called the PADI Discover Scuba Diving Program.
Try diving is a very popular program that we run at Temple Adventures. To summarise, this is a quick two day program that allows you to experience scuba diving. We teach you some basic skills and then you and an instructor set out to sea to explore the oceans! Sounds exciting right?
Since this is our most popular program we thought we should tell you why exactly it is so popular! So here are five reasons why you should do this scuba program with us!
5 Reasons To Try Diving
1. No swimming required:
Yes! You read that correctly! You will not be required to swim while doing this scuba program. Because your instructor will be with you at all times and will take care of you. When we reach the dive site via our boat, we anchor right at the reef. Because of this reason, discover scuba divers do not have to swim to the entry point. Also we ALWAYS have a buoy line on our reef. So that once the dive is done, we can take our divers up it and get them to the boat directly.
However, it does make your experience a lot more easier if you are comfortable in the water.
2. It is an economical option:
Scuba diving is an adventure sport and can be an expensive hobby. However, if you are just looking to experience it just for once then this program is best suited for you because it is relatively a lot more economical than doing scuba courses. At Temple Adventures you can now easily avail our try diving program at 9,322 7,670 (inclusive of taxes). This excellent price covers your pool training, instructor fee, ocean dives, boat ride to the dive site, snacks and full equipment rental. In fact, we ALSO offer complementary underwater photos and videos so you can keep these amazing memories for life.

As it only requires two days from your busy schedules. We would only require 1 hour from you on the first day as we finish up your pool training and paperwork.
