SSI Try Scuba Diving in Lagos for Beginners

Embark on an underwater adventure with the Try Scuba Diving programme. Ideal for beginners or uncertified divers, TSD provides an exciting introduction to underwater exploration. Begin with a brief 2-hour pool lesson led by expert instructors, covering essential diving concepts and exercises. Then, accompanied by our instructors, dive into the shallow, sheltered bay near Ponta da Piedade for a safe and thrilling experience. There the clear blue waters will let you discover the fish-rich marine ecosystem, diving alongside corals and rock formations in a depth of 5 to maximum 12 meters.

Meeting & Preparation
Meet us at the dive center at the port of Lagos at the booked time for your introduction to diving and a brief pool session. Learn more about the equipment, diving in theory, while already practicing, exercising and developing skills in the pool. Then you will be ready for your open water dive, which you can schedule individually for a following day. We use multiple pools nearby depending on the circumstances. We will either take you to the Marina Club Hotel, Hotel Vila Gale (our other dive center location) or to a heated pool in Winter.
