What to expect
You'll meet your instructor at the dive centre and spend time in shallow water learning essential skills: equalising pressure in your ears, managing your breathing apparatus, and understanding hand signals. Once comfortable, you'll descend together to explore the seabed—typically 5–12 metres down, depending on conditions and your confidence. Your instructor remains beside you the entire time. Expect the water to feel cooler than a swimming pool and visibility to vary with weather and season. The whole experience, including briefing and gearing up, takes 3.5 hours.
