What is the introductory diving course like?
For Discover Scuba Diving we meet at 9:30 am. After a short 30-minute theory lesson, we prepare all the required equipment. With all the gear on, we go to the pool to practise the breathing and buoyancy exercises thoroughly, taking all the time in the world to answer any questions.
Now it is time to breathe underwater for the first time. In the pool, we learn a few basic exercises, such as recovering a lost regulator, clearing a flooded mask, and different exercises to practise buoyancy.
The exercises are repeated until everyone feels comfortable with the diving equipment. After about two hours in the pool, we take a short break and get ready for the great adventure that awaits us. We can even try some typical local food!
At 1:00 pm, already at the port, we get on the boat for your first dives. We do two dives on the local reefs of Playa del Carmen, to a maximum depth of 12 m for this first experience. The reefs are very close to the port, so the boat ride is short.
Our instructors are multilingual and are at your disposal to answer all your questions.
