HUSKISSON WATER ACTIVITIES FIELD GUIDE
Discover Scuba in Huskisson: A Two‑Hour Introduction to Breathing Underwater
A two‑hour, PADI‑supervised Discover Scuba Dive (ages 10+) that includes instructor time, gear hire and confined‑water training, with optional shore or boat dives — this guide explains what to expect and how to prepare.
Discover Scuba in Huskisson: A Two‑Hour Introduction to Breathing Underwater.
Off the coast of Jervis Bay, the Discover Scuba Dive Experience is a compact, two‑hour introduction to scuba: a confined‑water skills session followed by an optional shallow shore or boat dive. It’s designed for first‑time divers and families who want a supervised taste of underwater breathing without committing to a full certification course.

Outing Highlights
Everything provided for a two‑hour introduction
The price covers instructor(s) for the two‑hour session, hire of all necessary scuba gear and any pool charges required for the confined‑water portion, so participants can focus on learning and exploring.
Confined‑water training then shore or boat
The program runs as a confined‑water introduction, then continues either off the shore or from a dive boat for those taking the open‑water segment — a short, structured path from first breaths to shallow‑water exploration.
Learn under a PADI Professional
Participants learn basic safety guidelines and core scuba skills under the direct supervision of a PADI Professional, with instructors guiding equipment use, breathing underwater and essential in‑water techniques.
What the day feels like
What the two hours feel like
Expect a focused, instructor‑led session: an initial briefing and hands‑on confined‑water practice of equipment handling and fundamental skills, then, if you opt for it, one or more shallow dives from shore or a boat under direct supervision. The pace is educational and deliberately conservative — an introductory loop through the basics of safe scuba.
