About this experience
Nothing compares to the "weightless" exhilaration of breathing underwater. Only a diver knows the feeling! The PADI Discover Scuba Diving program lets you experience the thrill of diving under the supervision of a PADI Instructor. During your adventure, you'll master some basic concepts and scuba skills in the first dive before heading off on an open water dive in dive number 2. Your open water dive takes you as deep as 12 metres/40 feet! (Of course this depends on where you dive.) You Must know how to swim (strong and confident swimmer in the ocean), be in good health, not pregnant, and you will need 18hrs minimum to fly after scuba for safety reasons. This is just an experience to try scuba, this will not certify you.
