Dive in the Sea: We will take you for two real dives in the sea!
Where will I dive?
Khao Nayak, our local house reef
This is a shallow reef. However, you’ll still see colorful fish and coral. You will do two dives, with a maximum depth of 9m. Your instructor will be right by your side the whole time. This means you can relax and enjoy the experience
What’s next?
You can do more DSD dives. If you dive again with Sea Dragon within 2 weeks you won’t have to re-do the pool training. The maximum depth will be 12m.
