Description
This Discovery Dive is the perfect way to test the waters—literally! You’ll start with a simple theoretical briefing covering how to breathe underwater, communicate using universal hand signals, and handle your diving gear. Once ready, you’ll be guided into calm shallow waters—like a pool or quiet bay—to gradually ease into your first dive. You control how deep you go while your instructor remains close by to support—and this could be the start of a lifelong underwater passion.
Depending on your chosen location—Pietermaai or Jan Thiel—the tour lasts about:
- Pietermaai (city center): ~4 hours
- Jan Thiel (east Willemstad): ~2 to 2.5 hours
Included
- Thorough safety & equipment briefing
- Use of full scuba gear (mask, fins, BCD, regulator, tank, weights)

- Professional instruction tailored to your comfort and pace
