Discover Scuba Diving Options from La Digue

A beginner friendly boat experience for trying scuba in Seychelles.

Choose between a morning or afternoon Discover Scuba Diving experience from La Digue. Each option is guided by a PADI Professional and planned around the schedule, instructor availability and the comfort of the group.

Morning Discover Scuba Diving

A regular morning dive trip from La Digue with two guided boat dives and the afternoon free to enjoy the island.

A half-day boat experience from La Digue for beginners trying scuba for the first time.

You join us on Twin Spirit, learn the basics before entering the water and choose 1 or 2 dives.

If you choose 1 dive, you stay on board after your dive. You can relax, enjoy the boat trip and return to La Digue when the boat heads back.

Best if: You want a calm first scuba experience and still keep the afternoon free to enjoy La Digue.

Schedule: meet at the dive centre at 8:45 am, boat at 9:00 am, return around 1:30 pm to 2:00 pm.

Afternoon Discover Scuba Diving

A shorter regular dive option from La Digue for certified divers who want one guided boat dive later in the day.

A later option with one supervised dive and a clear introduction to the basics.

It works well if you prefer a lighter plan, arrive on the island in the morning or want more free time earlier in the day.

Best if: You prefer a later plan, arrive on the island in the morning or want a lighter first scuba experience during your stay.

The Team Around Your First Dive

Calm people make a big difference when everything feels new.

Trying scuba for the first time can bring excitement, nerves and a lot of small questions. That is normal.

At Trek Divers, the team is used to guiding people through that first moment slowly and clearly, from the briefing to the boat and into the water.

Natacha

Marcus

Co owner, skipper and PADI Instructor

From the boat, I try to make your first dive feel steady before you even touch the water.

Aisha

PADI Instructor and co owner of Gypsie

For me, Discover Scuba Diving is about turning nerves into curiosity, one small step at a time.

Gino

Skipper

I make sure the boat side feels simple, so your first scuba moment starts smoothly.

Ellna

PADI Instructor

I give beginners the time they need to feel ready, never pushed.

Nerrick

My first hello is there to make everything feel a little less intimidating

Kyle

I break the first dive into small steps, so it never feels bigger than it is.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. La seule structure sur La Digue qui permet de plonger encadré et ça tombe bien car ils sont au top. Sur le bateau tout est parfaitement organisé et vous n'avez qu'à vous laisser guider par les briefings d'avant plongée. Encore merci à Nerrick pour son dynamisme et son envie de faire plaisir au groupe. Je reviendrai c'est sûr.
