Learn To Scuba Dive At <strong>Prana</strong> <strong>Resorts</strong> And <strong>Spa</strong><br />
14<br />
Want to do something a little different during your holiday to<br />
<strong>Koh</strong> <strong>Samui</strong>? Why not try your hand <strong>at</strong> the exciting adventure<br />
sport of Scuba Diving allowing you to explore the amazing<br />
underw<strong>at</strong>er world.<br />
Scuba diving is the act of swimming underw<strong>at</strong>er while using<br />
Self-Contained Underw<strong>at</strong>er Bre<strong>at</strong>hing Appar<strong>at</strong>us. By carrying<br />
a source of bre<strong>at</strong>hing gas (usually compressed air), the scuba<br />
diver is able to stay underw<strong>at</strong>er longer than with the simple<br />
bre<strong>at</strong>h-holding techniques used in snorkeling and free-diving.<br />
At <strong>Prana</strong> <strong>Resorts</strong> and <strong>Spa</strong>, we will take care of everything you<br />
need to ensure your diving course is as safe, fun and enjoyable as<br />
it could possibly be - all you need to do is show up with a sense of<br />
adventure and be prepared to put a smile on your face.<br />
We offer an exclusivity option which allows you to book an<br />
instructor so th<strong>at</strong> he is exclusive to you or your group for<br />
the dur<strong>at</strong>ion of the course. This guarantees th<strong>at</strong> you receive<br />
more <strong>at</strong>tention, and make the most of your training. Having a<br />
dedic<strong>at</strong>ed instructor is ideal for families and groups looking to<br />
learn to dive together.<br />
At <strong>Prana</strong> <strong>Samui</strong>, we can tailor make the course to suit how active<br />
you want to be during your holiday.<br />
The first step for someone new to Scuba is to try our discover<br />
scuba course.<br />

Having a taste of exploring the underw<strong>at</strong>er world, you may<br />

into theory and practical skills development.<br />
