Have you never dived before? Would you like to try it?
You can safely do a dive without taking a full dive course. This is called "Introductory Diving", sometimes "Discover Scuba Diving" or "Resort Diving". It all means the same and is a common practice worldwide to give people the chance to dive for once in their life without taking a full course. But be warned: many people do get hooked and complete a full certification course later on!

How will this be done?

First, a dive instructor will explain to you just what is necessary to know for your first dive. This does not take very long. You will learn all that is needed in order to make a safe dive which is closely supervised by your instructor. Before you go under water you receive a 30 to 50 minutes briefing from your instructor.

Your instructor will be with you at all times under water. At the beginning of the dive you will practice a few skills with the instructor, which usually takes just 5 minutes or so. Then you can just enjoy the great feeling of weightlessness for the first time, while the instructor shows you the amazing reef & marine life. The dives are conducted in a maximum depth of 12 metres (40 feet). Your dive might last approximately 20 or 30 minutes. If would you like to, you can take another dive with your instructor on the same day!

Please Note: This course is not a qualification course for Scuba diving. It is just an experience programme to get the chance to do a scuba dive, without the usaully required qualifications. If you repeat an intro dive in the future, a dive instructor must dive with you at all times.
