Goal of the course
Within this program, you learn the basics of scuba diving and have the chance to discover what breathing underwater feels like. We teach you theoretical basics, safety rules and the handling of the scuba equipment before you get a taste of scuba diving during your first dive. Depending on the option you book, you can do a diving session in the pool, which is ideal if you are short on time and money. The other option is a first dive from the boat, which allows you to discover the underwater world of Faial.
