What should I expect during my DSD experience?
You've decided to take the plunge and go scuba diving for the first time. Don't worry, it's not as terrifying as it seems! But if you're feeling a little anxious, knowing what to expect can help calm those nerves and allow you to fully enjoy the underwater adventure.
Here's a quick overview of what you can expect during your Discover Scuba Diving program:
-
1. Brief theory session covering the basics of scuba diving
Before you hit the water, your instructor will give you a quick lesson on the basics of scuba diving. They'll cover topics like safety procedures, hand signals, and how to use your gear.
-
2. Supervised dive in shallow water to practice skills and experience the world beneath the waves
Once you've completed the theory session, it's time to dive in! Your instructor will guide you through a supervised dive in shallow water, allowing you to practice the skills you learned during the theory session. You can go as deep as 12 meters or as shallow as 5 meters – it all depends on how comfortable you feel in the water. This is also the perfect opportunity to experience the underwater environment and marvel at marine life.
And that’s it! You’ve managed to break out of your comfort zone and went from a mere snorkeler to a budding scuba diver in a day!
Why choosing a small dive center makes a big difference
A small dive center is able to focus on your individual needs and concerns. At Easy Divers, we take pride in offering a personalized approach to scuba diving. Here's what that means:
- Unlike larger dive centers that may feel impersonal or crowded, we keep our groups small so that we can provide you with the best experience possible. We believe that scuba diving should be a special and enjoyable experience, and we strive to make that a reality for everyone who goes diving with us.
- We understand that some people may feel nervous or anxious about scuba diving, or even just being in the water. That's why we take the time to get to know you and any reservations you might have, offering support and guidance to help you overcome your fears and enjoy the experience.
- Our goal is to create a welcoming environment where you will arrive as a guest but leave feeling you made new friends.
