EXPERIENCE SCUBA DIVING FOR NON CERTIFIED DIVERS
Bubblemaker Program €70.00
This is a great way to introduce children from 8 / 9 years old to the world of scuba diving. They will experience what scuba diving is like and learn how to use the scuba diving equipment in a safe environment either in our Scuba pool or from the beach in shallow waters.
Discover Scuba Diving (DSD) beach dive €70.00
If you want to try scuba diving but aren’t quite ready to take the plunge into a certification course then Discover Scuba Diving is for you. Although this is not a certified course you will prepare
for your Discover Scuba Diving experience with a 20/30 minute PADI DSD eLearning. You will then be guided through the process of taking your first breath underwater with our PADI instructors, either in our scuba pool or from the beach in shallow waters. The DSD is a short try-diving experience and introduces you to the basics of scuba diving including the equipment, mask, buoyancy control (BCD), dive gauges and a scuba tank. You will also get to grips with breathing through a regulator and swimming efficiently in diving gear ready to take your next steps either on our boat (the DSD+) or by fully immersing yourself in the diving world through our certified PADI courses.
Discover Scuba Diving Plus (DSD+) 1 beach & 1 boat dive €130.00
Our DSD+ includes the above DSD activity and one boat dive to a maximum of 12 meters.

It’s also perfect for building confidence and having fun in the water before jumping straight into a full course.

This also allows you to complete the scuba course in 2 days.
