Want to learn how to scuba dive in Cape Town but don't have the time to do a course with lessons that span over a number of days? Or, maybe you're thinking of taking up diving but you're just not sure if it’s the thing for you? If so, then the Discover Scuba Diving Course facilitated by Into the Blue Scuba Diving Center in Cape Town, is just what you are looking for!
Created by PADI as an introduction to scuba diving, it promises to be a fun and exciting way of learning to breathe underwater. Giving you the full experience of Scuba Diving. You learn get to experience the underwater world while your instructor takes care of the rest.
At Into the Blue we keep our Instructor to Student Ratio very small to ensure you feel safe at all times during your first experience underwater while also giving you knowledge to take forward if you decide to take the next plunge and take the PADI Open Water Course.
There are two ways of doing your Discover Scuba Experience.
Option 1 - Completely in the pool, where you’ll learn the basics of breathing underwater and using scuba equipment under the guidance of a qualified instructor.
Option 2 - This option combines an introductory session in confined water (Ocean with pool like conditions) with a real open-water dive. After learning and practicing the basics with your instructor, you’ll head into the open water and experience scuba diving in a natural marine environment.
Diving in the pool is for those who simply want to feel what it feels like underwater with all the scuba gear on. In this option the entire experience is conducted in our swimming pool and participants have the comfort and stability of a controlled environment, shallow water and the edges of the swimming pool. After a short briefing, participants get to try out diving with the equipment in our swimming pool under the supervision of a qualified PADI Open Water Scuba Instructor.
Course schedule for pool dive:
The day starts at Into the Blue Dive Centre in Cape Town, where we meet at 8am. After registration, a PADI Instructor will give you a briefing and teach you how the scuba gear works. Then, when you are ready the fun starts as you get into the pool to take your first breath under the water!
We spend some time in the pool where we teach you a few skills, and play around under water as you experience the thrill of diving!
This experience roughly takes around 2 hours. However we don’t rush any experience so if you need some more time to become comfortable our Instructor will gladly help you for longer.
OUR TRAINING PHILOSOPHY: Don’t train until you get it right, train until you can’t get it wrong.
