It begins with a safety briefing from a professional PADI instructor. Participants start in the shallow end of the pool, where they learn to use the scuba equipment and take their first breaths underwater. Basic safety skills are also covered at this stage. Following this, participants venture into the deep end to experience weightlessness, simulating an astronaut’s experience. While this trial dive does not result in a certification, it provides a fantastic introduction to the underwater world and helps you decide if you want to pursue the full open water certification.
