PADI Discover Scuba Diving
Ever wondered what it’s like to breathe underwater? If you would like to try scuba diving but aren’t quite ready to take the full certification course, Discover Scuba Diving will help you decide if scuba is for you! This PADI experience is not a scuba certification but includes everything you need during the Discover Scuba Diving experience to dive safely with an instructor in shallow water.
Scuba diving has been described as the closest thing on earth we can get to experiencing the weightlessness of space. Of course, your first breaths will take a bit of getting used to, but after a few bubbles you'll realise how easy scuba diving really is. Once we've been through a few skills in shallow water and you've got to grips with swimming around we'll take you out for the really cool stuff, a dive off the boat!
If you wish, your Discover Scuba Diving experience may count toward PADI Scuba Diver or Open Water Diver certification, putting you a step ahead if you decide to continue your underwater adventure.
What's involved
The whole session takes just a morning or an afternoon!
- To start with, you will watch a video
- Then you'll be given a quick quiz (just to check you were paying attention!).
- We will then take you into the shallow water of the pool and practice some basic scuba skills. An example of these skills includes how to remove water from your mask whilst underwater (cool heh!)
- We then head down to the boat and take you out on a scuba dive to a maximum depth of 12m on the beautiful Rarotonga reef.
