What is discovery Diving?
The Trial Discovery Dive is a special activity designed for those who have always been curious about the underwater world but have not yet had the chance to dive. These one-on-one dives, conducted in a pool or open water with our instructors, are called Discovery, Trial, or Introductory Dives. We recommend that prospective divers try a Discovery Dive first to determine if this sport suits them before enrolling in a full diving course. In Turkey, a Discovery Dive is conducted in pool or open water, guided one-on-one by an instructor or a 3-star diver holding a Discovery Dive specialty certification.
The Discovery Dive takes place at a maximum depth of 5 meters and lasts approximately 20–25 minutes. Descending deeper than 5 meters is not permitted.
Before the dive, the candidate receives a briefing from the instructor, covering essential underwater rules, do’s and don’ts, and safety procedures.
We welcome all underwater enthusiasts to join our Trial Discovery Dive events!
After completing the Discovery Dive, if you wish to become a certified diver, you can enroll in a Beginner-Level One-Star Diving Course to continue your journey.
