Try Scuba Diving in 1 Day
Description
Never tried scuba diving before but want a scuba diving experience or just have a short vacation time?
Do not have time to complete the full Open Water course but want to go for a dive in a safe environment and learn the basics of scuba diving?
​
Then the Try Scuba Dive program in shallow waters at one of our stunning dive spots is just right for you.
This 1 day entry-level diving experience gives you the opportunity to discover scuba diving and experience the marine world without committing to a longer course.
​
How Does Discover Scuba Diving Work?
One of our professional instructors will give you a thorough explanation of how we will interact responsibly with the aquatic life. The basics of diving and communication procedures underwater will introduce you to your scuba diving equipment. Followed by a short quiz. Then you will head out to one of our dive sites to begin your dive experience where you will have 1 dive with the option of a second scuba dive.
We are sure you will love your diving experience and that you will want to make a second dive.

​
How Do We Do It?
For the 1-day experience, we meet at 10.30 am to complete the paperwork and theory with a dive professional who will describe the diving skills, scuba equipment, dive briefing, and practices.
To keep you safe at all times, we start in very shallow water and one of the nearby dive sites and practice a few basic safety skills. The Try Scuba Diving program is conducted in very small groups of not more than 4. And you are under constant supervision by a professional instructor at all times.
Once you are feeling comfortable with the skills underwater we will show you around one of our amazing dive sites. Discover the underwater world and marine life together in water no more than 12m deep.
You do not have to go that deep, we keep you where you feel safe, and after everything is completed you would have earned the Basic Diver dive certification.
It’s a great way to discover scuba diving, you will have an amazing experience.
