What To Expect
For somebody who never dived, we have the Discover Scuba Diving Program!
The whole program takes 2 ½ -3 hours.
After a small theory introduction for the essential information's (~30 min) we get familiar with the equipment. Then we start exercising 4 skills in shallow water (~1,50 m) for to feel more confident and safe to have more fun! And after everybody feels fine, we continue with the dive to a maximum depth of 12 m.
The dive takes about 30 minutes. It is a shore-dive.
We take max. two people per Instructor / Assistant, so everyone has one hand of a professional.
If one liked it, we have the possibility to do another dive from the boat.
You will even get this dive credited as the first lesson on your diving course, should you decide to continue and do a diving course with Blue Dolphin Divecenter.
The Basic Diver Program starts from the age of 8 years old with a maximum depth of 4 meters and from the age of 10 years to a maximum depth of 12 meters.
