Diving Courses
Short term as well as long term courses, designed keeping in mind the varying interests of a tourist are offered. The different courses in their different levels train you to enjoy the varying dives. You can also specialize in dives like the Wreck dive, the night dive etc.
The schools have separate courses for kids and adults, with the beautiful, turquoise lagoons forming their training grounds. The lagoons with their clear water form natural swimming pools and are a perfect place for learning scuba diving.
Beginners usually start with the introductory dive that is carried out in the waist depth shallow waters of the lagoons. After nine dives and theory lessons, an internationally recognized PADI Open Water Diver certificate can be obtained which usually takes about a week.
Some schools do offer training up to professional level but they may require a certification of physical fitness. Qualified or professional divers should bring their logbook and copies of certificates and cards. All types of International certificates are accepted.
