Absolutely! Non-swimmers can safely enjoy scuba diving through our Discover Scuba Diving (DSD) program. Our PADI-certified instructors provide 1:1 guidance in shallow waters (5-12 meters), handling all swimming aspects while you explore the underwater world. We start with pool training, then move to calm, shallow waters. Over 60% of our DSD participants are non-swimmers who successfully complete their dives.

The optimal diving season at Turquoise Dream is October to May when we have calm seas, 20-30 meter visibility, and comfortable 27-30°C water temperature. December to March offers the best conditions with frequent manta ray sightings. We operate year-round except during severe weather. Early morning dives (7 AM) offer the best visibility and active marine life.
