Try Dive – Your First Step into the Underwater World
What Is a Try Dive?
Try diving in Koh Chang is your perfect introduction to scuba diving in Thailand – no prior experience or certification required! This one-day introductory dive program lets you explore the beautiful underwater world of the Gulf of Thailand with two guided dives at shallow reef sites in Mu Koh Chang National Marine Park. Each Try Dive day trip includes full scuba equipment, personal instruction (1-on-1 to maximum 1-on-4 ratio), lunch, drinks, and hotel pickup from selected areas on Koh Chang's west coast.
Our beginner-friendly Try Dive takes place at calm, shallow dive sites like Hin Raab South and Blueberry Hill, with a maximum depth of 11 meters. You'll learn the basics of scuba diving directly onboard our dive boat – no pool session, no classroom time. Your experienced instructor will guide you step-by-step through breathing underwater, buoyancy control, and essential safety skills before your first dive. Between dives, enjoy the tropical scenery, snorkel at the surface, or simply relax on the boat. Try diving is perfect for anyone curious about scuba diving, whether you're planning to get certified later or just want a safe, fun underwater adventure during your Koh Chang holiday.
