How Does It Work?
Discovery Scuba Diving Tour steps:
After completing your preferred day and time booking, you will receive a confirmation email with comprehensive instructions, including GPS coordinates of the meeting point where the diving site is located.
Each participant will be required to fill out an individual medical questionnaire along with a liability release form. The entire experience is expected to last approximately 1 - 1.5 hours.
What To Expect?
The first step upon arrival is meeting your instructor, who will introduce himself and answer any questions you might have.
Then he will proceed with an introductory safety briefing, which includes a scuba gear explanation and safety scuba diving-related rules.
Next you will gear up and enter shallow water (smooth shore entering at 3ft.), where you will learn and practice some basic scuba diving skills. Everyone who successfully completes all safety skills and wishes to continue is now going to meet local underwater marine and experience the feeling of what is like to be a diver.
Each try dive takes place on an average of 5 to 20 ft. max depth, with a duration of 30-40 min.
At the end everyone will exit the water together, remove diving gear, and participate in a debriefing (short informative session on what species you might have seen and how you feel after your first real dive).
The last thing you will need is the GoPro app (Quik) to be able to download all videos and photos from the tour on one of your devices. If this option does not apply to you, you can use your email, and a link will be provided by the end of the day.
