Program Content

To breathe underwater the for the first time – what a feeling! This is simply incomparable! You have to get used to it at first. After all, people are not made ​​for it normally. After a few minutes of quiet breathing underwater, most participants realize how easy diving can be.

If that works after a few minutes, most of the participants are really enthusiastic and never forget that first impression underwater.

What you learn

  • Learn about the basic scuba equipment and how to use it underwater. 
  • Find out what it’s like to breathe underwater.
  • Learn key skills that you’ll use during every scuba dive.
  • Have fun swimming around and exploring.
  • Hear about becoming a certified diver through the Padi Open Water Diver course.

Schedule

Because of the high demand on fun dives in the morning we decided to usually start the DISCOVER SCUBA DIVING in the afternoon (in single cases, mainly in the off-season, there is also the possibility to start in the morning, just ask us!). You can start in the afternoon, at 13:15 pm. Please contact us AT LEAST on day before, so that we can organize the course groups.

 

At your arrival you will be welcomed at the base by one of our local and international dive masters and instructors. We offer you an entry point to the diving theory and explain you everything important for your first dive. You also get the needed diving gear from us (if you already have a mask, diving fins, a snorkel or even a wetsuit, just bring it with you, because they will fit perfectly!).

Finally we go, we cast off! Together we bring the equipment to the boats, of course our staff helps you if you are not capable of carrying it yourself. When everybody is on the boat we get to one of our beginners’ dive sites, of which most can be reached within 20 minutes.

Have you decided for a dive from the beach we only have to carry the equipment to the water (<30m) and can start immediately.

Dives are selectively taken from a boat or from the beach. Each dive is about 40min long, and this is highly dependent on your air consumption.

Have you decided to make two dives from the boat (Two-Tank-Boat Dive) there will be a break between the dives. During this time we go to the next spot and you have time to recover you and to drink something (drinking something is very important when diving!)

Between the dives we will NOT go back to the dive center if possible.

After your return to the diving school you are kindly invited to talk about your underwater experience with a tea and cookies. Our guides help you to identify what you have seen during your dive if you like to.
