What to expect
Your first two days cover pool or confined-water sessions where you'll practise essential skills: clearing your mask underwater, managing buoyancy, and using your regulator calmly. Instructors walk you through each technique step by step before you attempt it. Days two and three move to open water, where you'll complete four dives in real conditions—shallower sites first, building confidence before reaching deeper spots. Expect a mix of classroom briefings, hands-on practice, and guided dives. The pace is steady; instructors won't rush you.
