First Breath: Two Hours to Your First Scuba Dive off Costa Teguise.
The SSI Try Dive in Costa Teguise is a tightly focused, beginner‑friendly introduction to scuba: in roughly 2–3 hours you receive a short theory brief, practise breathing and basic skills in waist‑deep water, then make a supervised, shallow dive to experience breathing and swimming underwater to a maximum depth of 5 metres.
Highlights
Outing Highlights
Short, low‑commitment introduction to scuba
Designed for first‑timers, the SSI Try Dive compresses the essentials of beginning scuba into a compact outing so you can sample diving without a large time investment.
Practice breathing and skills in waist‑deep water
Before descending, you practise breathing from the regulator and basic hand signals while standing or floating in waist‑deep water, building confidence before any descent.
Supervised underwater swim to 5 metres
Under direct supervision you perform guided skills and then enjoy a short underwater swim, feeling what it’s like to breathe and move beneath the surface to a maximum depth of 5 metres.
What the day feels like
What the Try Dive Feels Like
The flow is deliberate and paced for newcomers: a brief theory session covers breathing, equipment, hand signals and safety; you then gear up on the beach and practise breathing at the surface in waist‑deep water. When you’re ready the team guides a shallow descent — initially to roughly one metre to acclimate — where you repeat simple skills before a short guided swim down to about 5 metres to experience real underwater buoyancy and movement.
