If you're spending your holiday in Corfu, and you're eager to try scuba diving, our Discover Scuba Diving programme in Paleokastritsa allows you to do just that, without having to go through extensive theoretical training. This is a great way to explore the bustling marine wildlife off the coast of Corfu and to experience what it feels like to breathe underwater and experience weightlessness, similar to an astronaut. Indeed, this offer will help you get a taste of what scuba diving is all about and will help you decide whether you want to become a certified diver by subscribing to a PADI scuba diving course.
Dive areaTypically, our Discover Scuba Diving Programme takes place at
Agia Triada Beach and at
Agia Triada Reef. The beach is a great starting place for beginners as they can gradually go deeper while they get used to their equipment. Here, diving beginners already have the chance to see interesting rocks, octopus, different kinds of breams, comber fish, flounder fish and starfish. For the second Discover Scuba Diving dive, we move on to the shallow reef located in the same bay. It is very colourful with fascinating rock formations and is home to even more species while still providing a safe environment for beginners.
ProgrammeYou will meet us
at the dive centre at the time indicated on your booking confirmation, there is free parking available. We will have you fill out the medical statement and set up your gear. We will start the programme with a
20-minute introduction into the basics of scuba diving and into the essentials of using your scuba equipment. Next, you will get kitted up and go into the water at Agia Triada Beach to start putting theory into practice. You will do some
simple exercises such as clearing your mask or controlling your buoyancy before moving on to your actual
first dive in shallow water. No worries! You will be under the supervision of a trained and experience diving instructor at all time, to ensure your safety. If you book the 2-dive option, you will have a short break and then move on to Agia Triada Reef, where there is even more marine life to explore and where you can dive to a depth of
up to 12 metres.
