Try Dives

Dive Officer Try DiveTry Dive – What’s it all about?

Are you ready to explore the underwater world with SCUBA diving? The try dive will let you feel what it’s like to breathe and move under the water with special equipment.

Your instructor will welcome you and introduce you to the SCUBA equipment you will use for the try dive. After you get changed, your instructor will help you put on the equipment  and teach you some simple hand signals to communicate underwater. Everything is taken at your own speed and comfort level, you’ll have a safe and enjoyable experience.
