The Fun Part

There is nothing like breathing underwater for the very first time. It can feel a little weird at first. It takes a little getting used to but after a few minutes of awestruck wonder, most participants realise how easy scuba diving really is. The biggest challenge for DIVERS WEST is coaxing the participants out of the water! 

What You Learn

You will learn the basic skills needed to dive, while under the direct supervision of a PADI Professional. One thing you'll learn is that you really can breathe underwater. You will also:
