Discover Scuba Diving Course

The Discover Scuba Diving Course contains a half day instruction for beginners looking to learn the basics of scuba diving. In this course, participants are given the chance to watch a short video and listen to the dive briefing. This will enable beginners to learn about the dive equipment and safety rules.

Participants are also invited to have the full day dive in Open Water, giving you a real taste for the life of scuba diving. Those who will fall in love with diving can carry on with the full Open Water course.
