THE INTRO

A Playful, Supervised First Breath

A guided PADI Discover Scuba Diving session introduces you to basic gear and the sensation of breathing underwater in shallow, controlled conditions—an easy, memorable first step into diving.

THE FORMAT

Short, Focused, Non‑Certifying

This is an introductory experience rather than a certification course: the emphasis is on a quick, safe introduction to equipment use and the underwater environment rather than full dive training.

THE PRACTICALS

Three-Hour Window from Shop to Debrief

The experience is compact—planned as a three-hour session that begins at the Easy Divers shop and covers briefing, equipment familiarization and shallow-water practice under instructor supervision.
