Getting Started with Scuba
PADI Discover Scuba
Want to try scuba diving but not sure if you’re ready for the full PADI Open Water course. You will need to fill out and return some paperwork prior to attending your session and then on the pool night you will just need to bring your usual swimming gear, T-shirt and towel. During your PADI Discover Scuba Diving session one of our highly experienced instructors will spend around 20-30 minutes to show you the SCUBA equipment that you will use and what each part does and how it's used. Then over to the fun part, it's time to put on the equipment and take your first breath underwater. Under the supervision of the instructor you will slowly be taken underwater to try out the equipment and a few fun practice skills. At the end of the session your instructor will run through the steps to continue onto the next course. Includes e-Learning and equipment. Cost £50
