What Happens
Prior to entering the water we explain some of the serious aspects to diving and
help you understand how to equalise and why you need to. After this we get you
involved with putting the kit together and checking it is ready for your use.
This knowledge and hands on approach to putting your kit together will help make
you feel more comfortable about the equipment and what it is supposed to do, when
you are wearing it in the water.
In the Water
We help you into your kit in shallow water, brief you again of what basic skills
we might be doing and show you a few underwater communication signals so that
we can understand each other without having to surface. Then the time comes when
we slowly submerge getting used to breathing of the scuba unit and gradually ending
up on our knees in the shallow end.
(We will only be a few inches below the surface at this point developing your
confidence and making you breathe more slowly if you find yourself a little excited).
From here on you will experience the wonder of being under water, the strange
but comforting sound of your breathing and go for an underwater swim. It is then
you will experience weightlessness for the first time and after a couple of circuits
down to the deep end and back your session will be nearly at an end. Once you
have exited the water and broken down the gear you may well wish to know what
the next stage of your Adventure is.
We all hope your experience has been a good one and you will take away your Discover
Scuba Diving (DSD) Completion and Registration form in an envelope plus details
about the next step, the courses and “What’s Involved”.
The Adventure Continues
Your adventure can continue by booking onto a further diving course and provided
it is within 7 days of your DSD you will get ½ the cost of your DSD evening
or afternoon discounted off the course Fee.
WE all very much hope you enjoyed the experience and it will be our pleasure
to take you on to the next stage.
