Introduction to diving

We start with a briefing where all the necessary knowledge to perform a dive is explained, such as:

  • understanding of the gear
  • what is the function of the different items
  • and how to use them
  • and even more important:  the safety principles
  • last but not least: how do we communicate under water, using a specific sign language

After changing into diving gear (neoprene suit, boots, mask and fins) we go into the pool and walk through the underwater caves and only after we feel save enough’ we go to the sea, either by boat or by swimming out from the beach. The next step is to sink to the bottom at 4 or 5 meters deep. Getting accustomed to this new environment and trying to walk on the bottom of the sea. Then comes the moment that you start enjoying and discover a totally new and different world. Underneath the water each person is always under close monitoring of the instructor who assists and corresponds with you in the recently learned signals. After having done the introduction course, we offer a course to be able to do the diving exam.

Open-water course

Duration: 3-4 days
