What to Expect During the Basic Diver Program?

Everyone experiences their first dive differently so we keep groups small to cater to the individual, making sure there are not more than 2 guests with your instructor.

The experience will last for about 2 hours, with the first hour your instructor will introduce you to your equipment and teach you what you need to understand to scuba safely.​

Once you are comfortable you will enter the water for your second hour. In the confined water with your instructor you will practise some skills to get comfortable breathing underwater and swimming with your gear, before going across to ‘the Aquarium’ reef for a bit of fun!​

Skills:
