Part 1: Intro & Briefing
To start the PADI Discover Scuba Diving program you are going to meet your Instructor, introduce yourself to each other and go over some necessary paperwork.
Your Instructor will get you sized up for your equipment and give you a detailed briefing about some techniques, safety procedures, equipment use and handsignals that we use as divers. He will also tell you a bit about how to handle the marine environment and the options you have after this program as a diver.
You will get to fill in a small knowledge review after this, just to make sure you understand all the points.
Part 2: Swimming-Pool-Dive
Your instructor will set the equipment up for you and help you to put it on and get used to it.
You will enter into water first shallow enough for you to stand up in. Here you are going to practice what it’s like to breathe underwater and 5 other skills that you may need on your dives.
Part 3: Open Water Dive(s)
In the afternoon we will go onto our dive boat, where your instructor will again prepare the equipment for you and you have some time to relax and enjoy the view, while we take a short trip to one of the shallow dive sites around El Salvador.
Once we arrive, your Instructor will give you a briefing, go over the safety rules with you and explain the techniques for your first Open Water Dive. He will also show you what you can expect to see once you are underwater.
You will enter the water from our dive boat with a big step out and go on your dive with your personal Instructor (for this program we take a maximum of
1 diver per instructor) and explore the marine life El Salvador has to offer.
Once you are back from your dive you can choose to either relax on the boat for a little longer or decide to join us for another dive, as we always go out for two dives on a trip.
For this program you will get a small certificate, if you decide to upgrade to a full certification course with us, this program can be credited towards it.
