There is nothing like breathing underwater for the very first time. 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 NEWHAVEN SCUBA CENTRE is coaxing Discover Scuba Diving participants out of the water when the program is over. The fun part? It’s all fun! Plus, you can get a extra pool session to practice your skills putting you a step ahead of the game when you decide to start your Open Water course.

THE SCUBA GEAR YOU USE All the equipment you will need is included in a Try Dive experience. You’ll use a Total Scuba system setup including a mask and snorkel, fins, a wetsuit, a buoyancy compensating jacket (BC) that carries your weights and scuba tank, a scuba regulator to breathe from and instrumentation to monitor depth and air supply.

WHAT YOU LEARN You learn the basics you need to dive under the direct supervision of a Dive Professional. One thing you’ll learn is that you really can breathe underwater and whether you like doing that or not. You will:

Learn what wearing scuba equipment feels like and how easy it is to move around underwater while wearing it Find out what it’s like to breathe underwater and learn whether you can be comfortable there Learn some basic skills and safety rules that will carry over to your full scuba certification course when you take the next step
