The experience
The class starts at Scotty's Action Sports Network dive center, where you register, sign papers, and select your scuba gear: wetsuit, fins, booties, and mask. The center provides everything you need, so you arrive with nothing but your willingness to try. A live guide in English, French, Czech, or Japanese walks you through the equipment and what to expect.
The pool session lasts 40 to 50 minutes and covers the skills that matter most when you're underwater. You learn to equalize the pressure in your ears as you descend, clear your mask if it fogs, and recover your regulator if it slips out of your mouth. These are not abstract drills. They're the moments that separate comfort from panic underwater, and practicing them in shallow water means you can focus on the experience when you're actually down there.
After the pool work, you spend 40 minutes diving in open water, seeing marine life and corals. This is where the training becomes real: you're breathing underwater, your brain is processing something it has never done before, and the reef is there in front of you. The guide stays with you the entire time. All scuba gear, entrance fee, environmental fee, and a towel are included. Food and drinks are not.
Is this one for you?Choose the pool-and-dive option if you want to build confidence in shallow water before going deeper, or the beach option if you prefer to start your underwater training closer to the reef. Either way, the three-hour format, pool practice plus open water time, is what lets a complete beginner go from zero to breathing underwater in one session.
