The PADI Discover Scuba Diving Course introduces you to the basics of diving. A short try-diving experience for adults and children aged over ten years, this dive will be conducted in the swimming pool at Havelock Island Beach Resort (HIBR)–a beachfront property located on Govind Nagar Beach. It has a huge pool that is specially designed for carrying out pool DSD confined practice sessions. The entire experience will be of around three hours in duration wherein our instructor will teach you the basics of scuba diving. Except for Taj Exotica Resort & Spa and Barefoot, we will provide you with a pick-up and drop-off facility within a 3 km radius from Havelock Island Beach Resort to our dive centre.
The PADI Discover Scuba Diving (DSD) course is the ideal beginning for those inquisitive about beginning the adventure of exploring the underwater world but not quite ready for full scuba certification. It is like an introductory lesson designed for beginners with no previous experience required. The PADI DSD program allows you to try scuba diving in a controlled, safe, and comfortable environment with a PADI professional. The PADI DSD program consists of a short, easy-to-follow briefing by a PADI instructor who will go over the fundamentals and proper equipment functions, safety details, and underwater communication.
Pool DSD is something that can be done by children over ten years old; adults, and children up to sixty can participate under the proper supervision. This activity, that is very generalized, or considered simple without ever trying it, provides many hours of adventure in beautiful Havelock Islands, with the right supervision. Although thousands of tourists from around the world have been permitted to snorkel in the Islands, there are a small number of mandatory restrictions that all tourists should, and must follow, before they enter the islands.

After a brief practice in shallow water, you will be taken on a guided boat dive to colourful coral reefs with tropical fishes.
