How to scuba dive for first time

You always wanted to try Scuba Diving? Have you ever wondered what it's like to breathe underwater? If you want to find out how it feels but aren't quite ready to take the plunge into a certification course, the PADI Discover Scuba Diving will let you try scuba to see if you like it.

In a pool session you learn the basics you need to dive under the direct supervision of our PADI Instructor. You will:

• Learn what wearing scuba equipment feels like and how easy it is to move around underwater while wearing it
• Find out what it's like to breathe underwater and learn whether you can be comfortable there
• Learn some basic skills and safety rules that will carry over to your full scuba certification course when you take the next step

After the pool session and if you feel comfortable, you will will have a shore dive in the sea under the direct supervision of our PADI Instructor. After this your options are:

1. Participate in our shore and boat diving  as many times as you want, always in a limited depth (up to 40 feet/ 12 meters) and under the direct supervision of our PADI Instructor.
2. Plunge into a certification course
