SUE AND MARIE

Certified Padi Master Instructor and Padi IDC Staff Instructor

So, I expect after you have read our articles about diving, you must be chomping at the bit to check out these cool waters for yourselves.

How can I do this I hear you ask? Well, it´s easy to start your diving life in a relatively cheap and quick manner. You can start off with doing a discover scuba diving class.

This is done in a swimming pool, or if you are lucky enough to have your own pool, it can be done in the comfort of your own home.

We will give you an orientation of all the scuba diving equipment, explain how it works and how to use it, then, into the water we all go.

You will practice breathing through your regulator on the surface before slipping on down to the bottom of the pool. When you are comfortable, we will get you to do some simple skills that we will demonstrate.

You will learn how to clear water from your mask without going to the surface and how to remove and replace your regulator from your mouth (so you can smile for some cool photo´s). When these are completed we will swim around the pool so you can get comfortable in your gear.

This is a ton of fun on its own. If you love it (and believe me you will) we can go into the ocean and dive.

Just how easy is this I hear you ask? Well, I took my neighbors 9 year old granddaughter for a pool session this week and within 10 minutes she was swimming around like a fish. She also mastered the underwater egg and spoon race and thrashed her dad at it! It really is child´s play.

She will be back next year to do her course with us and get into the ocean. Another diver is “born”.

So, once the pool session is complete, we can take you diving in the ocean to a maximum depth of 40ft. That is plenty deep enough to see so many great things. There will be no looking back after this we are sure and you will want to carry on. I won´t waffle on, but you can read all about it on our website.

We mentioned Los Arcos 3 weeks ago, and it’s fantastic for your first dive. Here we can see angelfish, butterfly fish and get you hooked on my favorites, the nudibranches and we can search for the Oxynoe panamensis together, amongst a host of other critters to amaze and amuse yourself.

We are off to blow some bubbles now. Catch you next week.
