Take your first breath underwater and discover a vibrant world hidden beneath the waves. In just one unforgettable session, you'll learn the basics of scuba diving, practice in shallow water, and dive alongside a certified instructor to explore the reef—no experience needed. Perfect for beginners and non-swimmers aged 10 and up.

Our Discover Scuba Diving experience in the Maldives is designed specifically for beginners and non-swimmers, offering a safe and supportive environment to explore the ocean for the first time.
Unlike many group tours, we keep our sessions small to provide personal attention from certified PADI instructors throughout your dive.
You'll dive at carefully selected reef sites known for calm conditions and rich marine life, including colorful corals, reef fish, and sometimes even sea turtles.
All scuba gear, boat transfers, and guidance are included in the price—no hidden fees.
With flexible daily schedules, professional instruction, and stunning underwater scenery, our Maldives beginner scuba diving packages offer unbeatable value and an experience you’ll never forget.

Begin your scuba diving adventure in the Maldives with a warm welcome and an introduction to the essential dive gear, guided by a certified PADI instructor. You'll start with a 30-minute briefing that covers safety, breathing techniques, and how to use your equipment with confidence. Next, step into a shallow lagoon where you'll practice basic scuba skills in waist-deep water, gaining comfort and control. Once you're ready, board the dive boat and head to a nearby coral reef teeming with marine life. During your guided open water dive, you'll descend to a maximum depth of 12 meters and spend up to 45 minutes underwater. Swim alongside vibrant tropical fish, spot corals in brilliant colors, and feel the serenity of floating weightlessly in crystal-clear waters. Whether you're a first-time diver or a curious traveler, this beginner scuba diving experience offers a safe and unforgettable way to explore the underwater beauty of the Maldives.
