What to expect
Expect a structured two-day program mixing theory and practice. Day one covers classroom sessions on diving physics, equipment assembly, and emergency procedures. Day two takes you into the water with your instructor, starting in shallow conditions to practise essential skills—mask clearing, regulator breathing, controlled descent. You'll progress to deeper dives as confidence builds. The pace is demanding but manageable for beginners; instructors adjust timing based on individual progress. You'll finish with a certification card if you complete all requirements.
Good to know
Avoid flying within 48 hours before diving. Pre-existing conditions like asthma or heart problems may disqualify you—consult your doctor beforehand. Complete the health questionnaire honestly. Reasonable fitness helps but isn't essential. Transfers to the diving site vary by traffic and time of day.
