Extraordinary African Safaris
Never dived before? A guided 'try-dive' lets you breathe underwater and explore a shallow reef — no certification, just the thrill.
A Discover Scuba Diving session is the perfect introduction for non-divers: after a short briefing on the basics in shallow water, a qualified instructor guides you on your first real dive over a gentle reef, never far from the surface and always within arm’s reach. No certification or experience is needed — just the ability to swim and a sense of adventure.
It’s a low-pressure way to find out whether diving is for you, and many people are so captivated they go on to a full certification course. Tanzania’s warm, clear water and easy reefs make it an ideal place to take the plunge.

The ideal toe-in-the-water for the curious — completely beginner-friendly and safe with a qualified instructor one-on-one. It's a single supervised dive, not a qualification, and depth is limited. If you love it, an Open Water course is the natural next step. Anyone comfortable in water can do it.
These are the destinations we most often pair with Discover Scuba Diving, based on route flow, season, and how the wider itinerary fits together.
