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 />

DISCOVER SCUBA<br />

This begins with a 15-20 minute session in <strong>Prana</strong>’s swimming<br />

pool to give you an introduction to bre<strong>at</strong>hing through a regul<strong>at</strong>or,<br />

one of the fantastic dive destin<strong>at</strong>ions around <strong>Koh</strong> <strong>Samui</strong>, where<br />

you will do two dives under the supervision of our Instructors, to<br />

a maximum depth of 12 metres<br />

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

want to do your PADI certific<strong>at</strong>e.<br />

PADI (Professional Associ<strong>at</strong>ion of Diving Instructors) is the<br />

world’s largest recre<strong>at</strong>ional diving membership and diver<br />

training organis<strong>at</strong>ion, which is composed of modules divided<br />

into theory and practical skills development.<br />

There are two beginner PADI courses available for our guests<br />

who want to proudly take home a PADI Certific<strong>at</strong>e.<br />

guidance of a PADI Professional.<br />

OPEN WATER DIVER<br />

This is a 3 or 4 day course for a lifetime certific<strong>at</strong>ion which allows<br />

you to dive anywhere in the world with a certified buddy.<br />

If you already have your PADI certific<strong>at</strong>e then there are many<br />

additional courses you can choose to experience in <strong>Koh</strong> <strong>Samui</strong><br />

spotting placid whale sharks or manta rays passing by on their<br />

frequent migr<strong>at</strong>ion.<br />
