Practical information
This course consists of 1 briefing and 1 scuba dive.
Have you always wondered what it’s like to breathe underwater? 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!
PADI dive centres offer this programme either in a pool, off a beach or from a dive boat - with Haliotis Faial you'll complete it at exclusive spots around the island. You'll meet at the Haliotis Dive Centre and then make your way to the spots via boat.
While not a scuba certification course, Discover Scuba Diving is a quick and easy introduction to what it takes to explore the underwater world.
You learn the basic safety guidelines and pick up the skills needed to dive under the direct supervision of a PADI Professional.
You'll have a theory development session, which will be followed by two scuba dives around at amazing spots around Faial.
