Try Scuba Diving
There is nothing like breathing underwater for the very first time. It takes a little getting used to but after a few minutes, you will realize how easy scuba diving really is.
In the PADI Discover Scuba Diving course, you will:
- Experience what wearing scuba equipment feels like
- Find out what it's like to breathe underwater and whether you can be comfortable there
- Learn some basic skills and safety rules that will carry over to your full scuba certification course
Most classes spend about one hour in the water. Once some fundamentals are learned, you will get the chance to play some games like underwater Frisbee®.
