What is this tour like?
Ocean Trek describes its Discover Scuba Diving by comparison with its own Try Dive: “The course is similar to the try dive course. It costs 120€ and takes about 4 hours. It includes a bit more theory, a few more skills in the sea and also a dive for about 45 minutes.” That is the honest difference for €30 more — an hour longer, a longer dive, and the PADI DSD credit towards a later Open Water course.
The school runs three domains — English, German (the one on its Google listing) and Spanish — and holds 4.9 on Google from 1,444 reviews (3 September 2026). Guests praise instructors' calm and attention to safety by name. It is on Calle Valencia by Torviscas beach; shore-dive sites are reached by jeep, a short trip. The page does not list exclusions.
