1 Try SCUBA + Beach Dive

Try Scuba + Beach Dive in Koh Lipe

Not a confident swimmer, feeling nervous about your first dive, or simply want some extra time to get comfortable underwater? Our Try Scuba + Beach Dive in Koh Lipe gives you a relaxed introduction to scuba diving before heading out to explore the coral reefs by boat.

Start in Shallow Water

Your experience begins with a confined beach dive in calm, shallow water close to shore. With your SSI Instructor beside you, you’ll have plenty of time to get comfortable breathing underwater and practise a few essential scuba skills.

You’ll learn how to:

• Breathe comfortably through a scuba regulator
• Recover your regulator if it comes out of your mouth
• Clear water from your regulator
• Clear water from your mask
• Move and relax underwater

Everything is completed at your own pace, without having to worry about depth or currents.

Then Explore the Reef by Boat

Once you’re feeling comfortable and confident, you’ll head out by our dive boat

for your Try Scuba dive in Tarutao National Marine Park.

Under the close supervision of your SSI Instructor, you’ll descend to a maximum depth of 12 metres and experience Koh Lipe’s colourful coral reefs and tropical marine life.

Small Groups & Personal Attention

We keep our Try Scuba groups small, normally with just 1–2 divers per instructor, giving you close supervision and plenty of personal attention throughout both the beach session and boat dive.

This option is particularly suitable for first-time divers, nervous beginners, non-swimmers and children who would benefit from a little extra time in shallow water before their first scuba dive from the boat.

If you’re excited to try scuba diving but would prefer a slower, more relaxed introduction, this is the perfect way to experience your first scuba dive in Koh Lipe.
