The experience
The lesson starts on land with a short theory session covering equipment, safety and procedure. Nothing complicated, just what you need to know before entering the water. Then your instructor drives you to Green Bay or a similar bay chosen for first-time divers, a protected site where the seabed slopes gently and the water stays shallow enough to build confidence without pressure.
Once in the water, you'll spend time in the shallows practicing breathing through the regulator and learning a couple of safety skills. When you're ready (and only when you're ready), you descend with your instructor, following the seabed down gradually to a maximum depth of 10 meters. The dive itself lasts about 45 to 50 minutes. The bay holds plenty of fish, and it's common to meet a turtle. Your instructor stays with you the whole time, so you're never alone underwater on your first dive.
The group stays small by design: no more than 4 divers per session, which means your instructor can watch you closely and adjust the pace if you need it. You get your own full set of scuba equipment, hotel pickup is included, and the whole experience wraps up with tea or coffee back on shore.
Is this one for you?The 3-hour structure and small group size mean you get steady attention without being rushed through any step: the theory, the shallow practice, and the dive itself all happen at your pace. Book this if you want to try diving without committing to a certification course, or if you're bringing children aged 10 and up who want to experience the water with a guide.

What's the water like in Green Bay where I'll be diving?
Green Bay is a protected bay with a gently sloping seabed, chosen specifically because it's suitable for first-time divers. The maximum depth you'll reach is 10 meters, and the shallow practice area lets you get comfortable with breathing and basic skills before the deeper part of the dive.
Do I need any diving experience or certification to book this?
No experience is required. This is an introductory lesson designed for complete beginners aged 10 and up. You'll learn everything you need during the theory session on land and the shallow-water practice before your guided dive.
Will I be diving alone or with other people?
You'll dive with your instructor, who stays with you throughout. The group is kept small, maximum 4 divers per session, so your instructor can give you personal attention and adjust the pace to your comfort level.

The full programme is 3 hours. That includes the theory session, the drive to Green Bay, shallow-water practice, your guided dive (which lasts about 45 to 50 minutes), and time to surface and return to shore.
What happens if I get nervous underwater?
Your instructor is with you the entire time and trained to work with first-timers. The shallow-water practice session is specifically designed to build your confidence before you descend deeper. You set the pace, and your instructor adjusts accordingly.
