Do a snorkeling course first

It is often underestimated that when people are snorkeling, they are doing this most of the time in open water.

Thus exposed to natural elements such as currents and wind.

Not to mention other boats cruising around.

Knowledge and direct supervision are very important factors before doing something like this, especially  on your own.


Safety

Impian Divers has an officially recognized Snorkel Course program in house.

The snorkel diver course is a quality training so that afterwards you can safely go worldwide from above to look at the corals and fish.

Ideal for those who are too young to start a diving course or also want to do something while others are taking a diving course with us.

A snorkeling course will boost your confidence tremendously, and you may want more after that.

Frequently Asked Questions

Learning to dive is done at a diving school. It is wise to choose a diving school affiliated with a reputable organization such as the IDD, SSI, NOB, NAUI or PADI.

Know that these organizations themselves do not have diving schools, but diving schools themselves choose from one of the many training systems.

Diving or learning to dive during your vacation is an awesome experience. However, one of the things you have to watch out for here is diver’s disease (also called caisson disease or decompression sickness).
