About This Adventure
Dive into some of Asia's clearest waters at Havelock Island. For beginners, the Discover Scuba Diving (DSD) program includes pool training followed by an open water dive at sites like Nemo Reef or Lighthouse. You'll see coral gardens, tropical fish, and possibly sea turtles.
Visibility varies by season—October-February is best. Sea conditions can get rough November-December. Marine life sightings depend on conditions and luck. First dive is mostly learning, not sightseeing.
