In the afternoon, you will go to the swimming pool to put into practice what you have learnt in the morning.

 

Your instructor will show you how to assemble your scuba gear and perform a buddy check before entering the water.

 

Once you feel comfortable under the water we will start going through the confined water diving skills. This prepares you for the two open water dives the next day.

 

The day normally finishes around 5pm, but if you require more time to practice in the swimming pool or need some more time in the classroom then this is not a problem.

Day 2: Open Water Dives
