DISCOVER SCUBA DIVING

If you want to find out but aren’t quite ready to take the plunge into a certification course, Discover Scuba Diving will let you try scuba to see if you like it. It is an extremely popular activity and while it is not an actual scuba certification, during the Discover Scuba Diving experience you’ll learn first a bit of diving theory followed by the use of scuba equipment in shallow water, after which you will be able to get an easy introduction to exploring the underwater world. We have to warn you ; you may never be happy on dry land again!

The course develops your knowledge and skills so that you will become a complete diver – someone who can look after themselves as well as others in the water by effectively performing diver assists and rescues, managing diving accident situations and giving first aid. The course is an important step in expanding your knowledge and experience as a diver, and we think that every diver should get to the level of Rescue Diver as it makes you completely self-sufficient in terms of rescuing yourself and others. This is where you get to play hero for few days practicing saving divers in need of help.
