No experience is required for Discover Scuba Diving. Our instructors will guide you step by step through your first dive in calm waters around Amed.

During a Discover Scuba Diving experience, beginners usually dive to a maximum depth of 12 metres, always under the direct supervision of a certified instructor.

Children can start scuba diving from 10 years old through the PADI Junior Open Water Diver course. Younger divers between 10–14 receive a Junior certification with certain depth limits and supervision requirements.

For adults there is no maximum age limit for scuba diving, as long as you are in good health and comfortable in the water. Many people start diving later in life and continue diving for many years.

If you have any medical conditions, we may ask you to complete a medical questionnaire or obtain a doctor’s approval before diving.

The first part of the dive is always conducted slowly in shallow water so you can become comfortable breathing underwater and moving at your own pace.

Many people arrive feeling unsure but quickly relax once they realise how calm and controlled scuba diving can be.
