What is a discovery dive ?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Discovery diving is an initiation to scuba diving<\/strong>. It is designed for anyone who wants to discover the sensations of diving. But without having to spend the few days necessary to become a certified diver. Discovering diving in Bali<\/strong> is quite a nice experience to bring back from your trip, isn\u2019t it? And who knows, you may like it so much that you will want to continue or come back to Bali to take the PADI Open Water Diver Course. And if you want to know more you can read our complete guide of scuba diving in Bali.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How is a discovery dive in Bali?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Discovery diving with Warnakali follows the standards of the world’s leading diving organization, PADI. It consists of some training in the swimming pool, followed by two sea dives in Nusa Penida, Bali. The experience is monitored by experienced dive instructors, knowing perfectly Nusa Penida diving sites and its currents. Finally, to ensure the best service, each instructor will guide only two divers on a discovery dive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We start discovering diving in the pool<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We will first pick you up from your hotel in Nusa Penida in the late afternoon to bring you to the center and choose your equipment. After a short diving theory course<\/strong><\/span><\/span>, it\u2019s time to go swimming and \u201cbreathe underwater\u201d. You calmly familiarize yourself with the diving equipment in the small pool in shallow water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And then you will dive into the 3-meter<\/strong><\/span><\/span> deep pool to learn to equalize your ears in a reassuring environment. That\u2019s it, you are ready to dive in the beautiful waters of Nusa Penida ! But before that, we will probably enjoy the beautiful sunset from the Dune Penida dive center !<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then let\u2019s go diving in Nusa Penida underwater !<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We will pick you up the next morning at your hotel and we will reach directly the port of Toyapakeh. From there, we will go to the first dive spot for your first underwater discovery dive around Nusa Penida. After a well-deserved fruit salad and coffee, we will make a quick assessment of the first dive. Soon, you will then return to the colors of the aquatic world for the second discovery dive. With a little luck, you may have seen Manta rays<\/strong><\/a> during one of the two dives. Finally (that soon ?), we take you back to the hotel.<\/span> And, that\u2019s it, you\u2019ll become a member of the great scuba divers family !<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

At what age can you start diving?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For a discovery dive at sea, you must be at least 10 years old. No prior scuba-diving experience is required, but you must be in good physical health. We are proud to have initiated to diving Elias, 10, who had as a nice birthday present a discovery dive in Bali. And more precisely at Manta Point with the Manta Rays of Nusa Penida!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Between 8 and 10 years in the pool, from 10 years at sea<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

But if your child is between 8 and 10 years old, you can also initiate him to diving in Dune Penida swimming pool. Two options for this: the Bubblemaker course for a first contact with diving, and the PADI Seal Team course, which will allow him to strengthen his technique through exciting AquaMissions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
