Introduction to diving

To become try diving for the first time, you do not have to learn everything. The dive instructor will train you and teach you the fundamental of scuba-diving

:

  • • What is the dive equipment vest, regulator, fins, mask, lead, bottle?

  • • How to breathe?

  • • How to properly balance your ears?

  • • How to communicate under water?

  • • How to palm?

Once the theory is understood you will start your first actual dive on a diving site or a swimming pool. Your instructor will take care of your dive gear and help you equip yourself. Once ready and the waistcoat well inflated, it’s time to get wet. At this moment, you start to feel the first sensations. Then you start to palm on the surface, to breathe in the regulator with the head in the water. Once you feel safe and comfortable, your monitor deflates your vest and the underwater adventure finally begins.

Underwater, the diver must remember two important things: to breathe well and to balance his ears. This step is always a bit tricky because you have to take into consideration that this is all new for a beginner. Some people feel a bit of stress but keep calm; everyone is going through that, it’s normal. Also no worries, the monitor watches over you and your security.

Once this adaptation time has passed you will finally feel ready to communicate and palm. Under the supervision of your instructor, the ballad begins at a depth of 1 to 6 meters. Be aware that even if the dive is done at a reduced depth, it is enough to admire a rich marine life especially on the coral reefs or underwater meadows. This dive will surely call many others and this leisure will fully integrate your future holidays.

After your first dive you will not be able to travel and discover new seaside places without going for a dive. All you have to do is to continue your training and improve your skills to go deeper, discover night diving or simply improve your buoyancy.
