This is a brief introductory course that teaches the basic dive theory, skills and the use of diving equipment. It is an ideal course for people who want to experience breathing underwater for the first time, or who are interested in continuing with the Open Water Diver course but would like to have a trial experience first. We teach the use and function of dive equipment, basic dive theory, skills and safety rules in diving and everyone will go on an introductory dive under the direct supervision of an instructor at a maximum depth of 9 meters/ 30feet. There is no certification received at the end of the course. The minimum age for taking part in the Discover Scuba Diving course is 10 years old for children (written parental or guardian approval required) or 18 years old.
