Overview

Our small instructor to participant ratios are designed to aid in maximising your safety as well as your ability to learn/assimilate scuba diving more effectively. With this private experience our instructor will be strictly dedicated to your party, as opposed to a regular scuba diving tour anywhere else on island where you will be put with many more beginners/participants in the same group making it harder for you to get the proper attention you need to succeed.

We have made it possible for you as a participant to Taylor out your intro to scuba experience in a way where YOU can feel more comfortable , in turn this will smoothen the experience and allow you to learn faster and more effectively. Boat or Beach entry, it is YOUR call. You are KING at Ola Paradive Scuba and we take great pride in our perfect safety track record .

What To Expect

This private tour can be customised based on your preferences, areas of comfort/weaknesses, we understand that doing an activity of this nature in a completely different environment can bring about doubt/fear and other mental barriers; hence why this is private experience instead of sharing an instructor with other participants like other companies.
With us you will get all the attention you need to make the most out of your dive.

Upon booking, your experience with us starts with a short zoom or phone interview with one of our instructors so that we get a chance to know your diving/in-water preferences, ares of comfort/discomfort , and possible weaknesses that may hinder your learning progress. You will then have a choice of the following Scuba experiences:

1. Beach Entry ( Walking in from beach)- Recommended for those who are afraid of water depth and/or have tendency to get boat sick.
2. Boat Entry ( Walking in from boat)-Recommended for those who are more adventurous and don't mind being in 40 ft of water as soon as they enter the water

Once you arrive at diving site you will receive a Pre-Dive Briefing followed by approx. 1 hour worth of guided underwater time (can vary).

Additional Info

  • Confirmation is instant and will be received at time of booking
  • Service animals allowed
  • Public transportation options are available nearby
  • Not recommended for pregnant travelers

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How soon can I fly in an airplane after Scuba diving?

A: Participants in the PRIVATE Introductory Discover Scuba Diving For Beginners cannot fly in an airplane within 24 hours of their dive. The main concern with scuba diving and flying is decompression sickness (DCS). Your body needs adequate time during an ascent to off-gas excess nitrogen, or you can form bubbles in your bloodstream, possibly leading to DCS. Read more Jun 2024
