Besides being part of the future, adults and, more importantly, children are an effective part of the present. Every journey starts with the first step and this is where it all begins.

Age | Duration | Max. Depth

No prior experience is necessary.
WHAT DOES THIS ACTIVITY INVOLVE
This half day activity guides you gently into this wonderful and safe sport. Together with an experienced PADI Instructor you’ll first discuss many different topics regarding Marine Diving Safety, Scuba Diving Equipment, Necessary Scuba Diving Skills (Theory & Practice), Marine Life Awareness, Conservation and The Diving Environment.
After this very interesting in-depth briefing a pool dive will follow. This is where the student breathes for the first time underwater and learns how to use the diving equipment in the safe, shallow confines of the pool or confined water. The student will also further build confidence by performing basic scuba diving skills under the direct supervision of a qualified PADI Instructor.
After this first pool/confined dive an Open Water scuba dive will follow where the student simply enjoys a shallow scuba dive in the open sea under the direct supervision of a qualified PADI Instructor. This second dive usually lasts around 50 minutes.
After this half day activity the student will be awarded a PADI certificate of completion which will allow them to dive anywhere around the world up to a max of 12 meters provided one always dives under the direct supervision of a qualified Instructor and performs the basic skills before the open water dive.
This PADI Discover Scuba Diving experience is also accredited towards the PADI Open Water course.
This also means that the money spent on this activity will be deducted from the next upgraded course.
