WHAT IS IT?
Try scuba is the best way to get started on your scuba journey or just to give it a go. You will learn the basics under the direct supervision of our trained instructors. First you will get comfortable with SCUBA equipment in the pool or in calm water shallow enough to stand. We will then take you on a guided dive so you can experience what diving is all about.
