What to expect
You'll start the day with hotel collection and head to the dive centre. If you're apprehensive, spend time in the pool getting used to breathing apparatus and equalising. Then it's onto the boat for two shallow dives where your instructor stays close, teaching basic skills as you go. You'll see reef fish, corals and maybe larger creatures depending on conditions. Lunch and water happen between dives. Expect 4–5 hours in the water across the day, though much of it is gentle and controlled.
