Perfect for Your First Time
Try Scuba is for anyone who has ever been curious about what it feels like to breathe underwater. You do not need any prior experience, any confidence in the ocean or any plan to continue beyond that single session.
Something Unforgettable in Thailand
If you are already in Khao Lak and have never tried diving, this is the obvious next step. Thailand is one of the best places in the world to take your first breath underwater. Clear water, warm temperatures, incredible marine life right in front of the dive center.
An Experience for Everyone
Children from 10 years old can join a Try Scuba session. It is a great shared experience for families with mixed diving backgrounds. Non-divers can try it while their partners do a full dive day. We can schedule everyone together.
Test It Before You Commit
Not sure if scuba diving is for you? Try it first without any pressure. If you love it, you can upgrade to a Basic Diver or Open Water course the same week. If you decide it is not for you, that is absolutely fine too.
