Discover Scuba Diving (DSD)
Your First Breath in a New World

The Experience: You’ll start with a relaxed safety briefing on our sun deck. Our experienced instructors will explain the equipment and a few basic underwater rules. Then, we head into the calm, crystal-clear water right under the hostel bridge for some shallow-water practice.
