What to expect
Your three days split between classroom theory, confined water drills, and open reef dives. The fixed dive centre means your instructors live locally and know every mooring point and creature behaviour. Tulamben's gentle conditions let you focus on technique rather than fighting currents. Expect to log four open water dives by course end, building confidence gradually. The reef itself teems with activity—colourful fish, corals, and the occasional turtle. You'll finish with a proper qualification card.
