Scuba Nation Cambodia - PADI Diving and Instruction in the Gulf of Thailand (Sihanoukville and Phnom Penh)
Scuba Diving in Sihanoukville, Cambodia

Always looking at the Discovery channel and wondering how it would be to breathe underwater and feel weightless? Then join us now at Scuba Nation PADI 5 Star Instructor Development Centre for the adventure of a lifetime with our Discover Scuba Diving Program and try diving today!

No experience necessary and you don’t even need to be able to swim! After a short briefing about safety aspects and a few easy skills you will be able to make your dream come true and dive underwater with full Scuba gear under the supervision of a fully qualified and experienced PADI Diving Instructor.

We have several options for you to try: you can swim around in the pool or dive on a boat trip or do both: what ever you choose is pure fun! If you opt for one of the boat trips, you can dive to a maximum depth of 12 metres under the supervision of your Instructor. You can do this on a day or overnight trip and in combination with snorkelling. The details of and schedule for these trips can be viewed under Day Trips and Overnight Trips.

After you’ve tried it, we know you’re going to want to continue so Scuba Nation Diving Centre will count what you’ve learned on this experience towards your Open Water Certification. And don’t worry - every breath you take, every move you make, we’ll be watching you.

PADI Scuba Diving Tips of The Day » The most common cause for blurry pictures is failure to hold the camera steady. Buoyancy and fin control are most important. Make sure you adjust for neutral buoyancy, don’t kick with your fins, concentrate on holding the camera still and squeeze the trigger slowly and steadily.
