The PADI Scuba Diver course is a subset of the PADI Open Water Diver course.

You will start from the basics to acquire the most important skills to be able to perform the diving activity safely.

This PADI Scuba Diver course consists of a theoretical part (PADI E-learning included), pool training sessions, theory and 2 open water dives to a maximum depth of 12 meters (40 feet) to acquire the necessary skills to practice recreational diving activity safely.

Swimming with the whale sharks was worth every penny! No sunscreen so wear a swim shirt or rent a wetsuit. Our Captain Solomon was fabulous and our guide Nano was fun, energetic and did everything he could to make this a magical experience for everyone on board. We were the first pick up and last drop off which meant for a super long day but highly recommend!!

We took the whale shark watching tour; we had a fantastic day with tons of sharks. Truly a dream. I would recommend it a thousand times over.

This was an amazing excursion. The Captain knew right where to drop you in so you can swim along the whale shark. If you hesitate, you ok be behind. The captain’s mate did a wonderful job of orienting you once you jumped in the water and he took amazing photos and video. I definitely recommend Gluup for this trip.
