TRY SCUBA PROGRAM OUTLINE

Meeting & Theory

Safety is key when SCUBA diving. First, we’ll sit down and discuss the basics — risks associated with SCUBA diving and how to mitigate them, SCUBA equipment, SCUBA skills, and underwater communication via hand signals. 

Kit Up

We’ll prepare SCUBA gear together, in a process called “kitting up.” We’ll make sure that you understand the individual components of your new SCUBA kit, and how everything works.

Briefing

Next, we’ll complete a thorough pre-dive briefing, taking time to thoroughly review the dive site, and making sure that you’re prepared for the environmental conditions, entry and exit procedures, and so much more. 

Let’s Go Dive

Now, it’s finally time to Go Dive in either our heated pool or confined water training site, Dollose. Here, we’ll perform skills, making sure to go at your pace and comfort level. In no time at all, we’ll be blowing bubbles together! After we’ve run through skills, we’ll continue on for a fun dive, looking for some of the Common Marine Species of Mossel Bay.
