Have you ever wondered what it would be like to breathe underwater?

During the Discover SCUBA Diving experience you'll learn how to use SCUBA equipment in a shallow pool environment and get a quick and easy introduction to what it takes to explore the underwater world.
The Open Water Course incorporates the Scuba Diver Course, but goes further towards making you a truly accomplished Scuba diver.

Scuba diving is an acronym for Self Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus, although now SCUBA is considered a word in its own right.
In Scuba Diving a Scuba diver uses a Scuba device or set to breathe while underwater. Most often Scuba Diving referes to the recreational persuit of Scuba Diving whereas there are other forms of Scuba Diving most notably Navy Scuba Diving and Commercial Scuba Diving.
A Scuba diver usually moves underwater using Scuba Fins attached to the feet, although external propulsion can come from the use of a Scuba Propulsion Vehicle SPV.
Scuba Diving is an exhilarating and pleasurable sporting activity which can only be enjoyed safely if you are properly trained to an appropriate level for the type of Scuba Diving you intend to engage in.
Generally the first level of certification is called the Open Water Diver. This is obtained by completing an Open Water Scuba Course which covers theory and starts with the Scuba Diving skills training you require for of Scuba Diving in the safety of a swimming pool.

This second section - the includes 4 qualifying scuba dives in open water.
