What Can I Expect

Fantastic Scuba Diving tasters for two! Discover how amazing it is to scuba dive with these three-hour beginner scuba sessions at PADI affiliated dive schools around the country.

As long as you feel comfortable in water you can scuba dive. These experiences are specifically for adults and young adults from the age of 10. Children aged 8-10 can book onto a PADI Bubblemaker experience .

Beginner divers will be able to 'have a go' within a safe, controlled environment, such as an indoor or outdoor pool, with all the gear and instruction included too.

The experienced diving instructors have the full PADI (Professional Association of Diving Instructors) qualifications to ensure you are well looked after both in and out of the water - and when it comes to scuba diving, UK centres are renowned as some of the best for beginners.

All dive gear, such as mask, tank and regulator are provided and you’ll be shown the basics of how Self-Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus works, including hand signals and use of equipment. If you've only ever done snorkelling with flippers before, be prepared to open up a whole new world of underwater breathing!

Once you get the hang of it, you will enjoy the exhilaration of the feeling of weightlessness (divers talk of ‘buoyancy’!), whilst breathing under water using the mouthpiece that connects to dive tanks.

Submerge yourself in these fantastic Scuba Diving UK lessons and find out what it's like to swim with the fishes! Whether it's just for fun, or if being able to learn to scuba dive leads you to new horizons, we think you'll love this diver experience. Are you ready to take the plunge with these scuba diving lessons?
