The DSD (Discover Scuba Diving) is the first step to becoming a diver. During your first lesson you will begin by learning some easy skills in shallow water. Then off you go to your first real dive to a maximum depth of 12m. The duration of a DSD adventure is approximately 2 hours and there is no pre-qualification required.
The Scuba Diver Course is the first part of the OWD (Open Water Diver) course and the first possible certification in diving that you can reach. It includes theory, confined water lesson and two open water dives. The required time is 1.5 days minimum. At the end of this course you can dive under the supervision of an instructor down to a depth of 12m. You can do an upgrade to the OWD anytime.

Exclusively teachable at Sea Explorer Reethi Faru , Raa Atoll, Maldives!
What is this Specialty about:
Sharks are of high importance to marine ecosystems, and the role in which they play in these ecosystems around the world is not lost on us here in Raa Atoll, Maldives. Sharks are usually at the top of the food chain in the ocean, and help regulate fish populations by feeding on them. A lot of the time Sharks feed on ill or diseased fish which can help “boost the immune system” of the marine life in that area. Their feeding restricts the fish populations from increasing quickly and taking over a certain area of marine life.
Sharks have a spectacular array of characteristics and adaptations that they have developed through millions of years of evolution. These adaptations have helped position Sharks to the top of the food chain, and it´s important to learn about these adaptations in order to understand how sharks have survived, and then thrived in their marine habitat.
Course includes 2 theory sessions and 2 open water dives!( PADI Specialty Certification, counts for Master Scuba Diver)
