Try Scuba

The purpose of this program is to introduce you to the underwater world. It is not a course, so there are no requirements to pass it – all you have to do is just breathe and enjoy. It is a perfect solution for those who have never tried scuba diving before and do not feel very comfortable in the water yet to dive below 5 meters. The diving will take place from the shore in one of the beautiful bays, offering a calm and safe environment to explore the underwater world at your own pace.

FAQ - Try Scuba Diving Programs

Can I try scuba diving in Koh Tao Thailand?

Sure thing! If you’re looking to try diving in Thailand, Koh Tao is the ultimate spot. It’s surrounded by beautiful coral reefs and has some great spots like Tanote Bay, Aow Luek, and Mango Bay for gentle descents. For beginners, we have two awesome programs: Try Scuba (5m) and Basic Diver (12m), perfect to start your underwater adventures! The minimum age for a Try Scuba participant is 8 years old.

Do I need any experience to try scuba diving?

No experience is necessary to try diving! You don’t even need to know how to swim to join the Try Scuba program. Your only task will be to breathe and enjoy the underwater world with our expert support.

What is a discover scuba diving (DSD) programme?

Our discover scuba diving programs are the perfect introduction to diving with equipment in a safe, controlled environment. The program begins with a brief theory session, followed by skill demonstrations in shallow waters (1.5m), and gradually progresses to deeper areas. Throughout the program, you’ll get to see coral reefs and have the chance to meet turtles, rays, reef sharks, and other amazing creatures.

You can choose one of the following introduction programs: Try Scuba (5 m) and Basic Diver (12 m). The exact depth will depend on your underwater comfort and conditions.

Is scuba diving safe for beginners?

Recreational scuba diving is incredibly safe when safety procedures are strictly followed. Your safety is our top priority, which is why we keep beginner groups small—no more than 2 students per instructor—and always start with a controlled descent from the shore.

Can I continue scuba diving after trying it for the first time?

Of course you can! If you enjoy your first scuba diving experience, you can continue your training by enrolling in a certification course, such as the Open Water Diver course, which will allow you to dive independently with a buddy to a depth of 18 meters!

After completing the Basic Diver program, you will receive a certificate that can be credited towards the first day of the Open Water Diver course.

Why learn with Angel Diver?

Extensive teaching experience

I have trained several hundred divers, thanks to which I gained extensive teaching experience. Many of my students come back, and some of them never left - today they are active dive professionals.

Professionalism and Quality

I am a demanding instructor with attention to detail for whom the work is not finished until the student achieves a satisfactory result. Learn the art of diving at the highest level with an instructor passionate about this.

Patient and People Friendly

Many years of volunteering have helped me understand the value of supporting other people and the need to be understanding for others.

Let me be your underwater Angel :).

safety above everything else

I always put safety above everything else and with my lifeguard experience you will be in good hands.

When safety is ensured - then we can have fun!

Emily, UK

Angie is one of the kindest and most patient people I have ever met. She made me feel so comfortable and safe doing something I never thought I could and helped me create memories I’ll always remember. I turned up with a fear of deep water and left as a certified scuba diver!

Clement, Germany

Angie is clear, precise, and above all very educational. The rules are well explained, illustrated and above all put into context to understand the danger of diving and how to avoid them. In short, a professional and efficient briefing. Then the dive, of good duration and especially from the beach to descent gently. The instructor makes sure everyone is comfortable and confident and takes you step by step, quietly, trusting but remaining vigilant. The rest is just fun - we swim with the fish, among the rocks and coral reefs - it was beautiful and for beginner like me, it is exactly what you need!

Nghia, USA

I can go on and on about all the positives that Angie brings to the table— most importantly, she is incredibly knowledgeable and makes sure to impart that knowledge to you. You can tell she loves diving and teaching, and she’s amazing at both! She made me feel safe and prepared throughout my two certifications, and her instruction has built a confidence in my diving that I did not have before. Angie rocks!
