Discover Scuba Diving

Experience the thrill of the underwater world with the Discover Scuba Diving program offered by Diving First in Komodo. This introductory experience is designed for individuals with no prior diving certification or experience, providing a safe and guided introduction to scuba diving.

The program typically includes one open water dive to a maximum depth of 12 meters, allowing you to explore the vibrant marine ecosystems Komodo is famous for. This is an excellent opportunity to get a taste of what scuba diving entails before committing to a full certification course.
