Day 1
-
From 8:30 am here in Phuket, your day starts at the closest dive center where you meet your PADI dive instructor, Alain Barrat.
-
He will begin with an administrative procedure if he has not already done so the day before. He will continue with a brief introduction to the basics of scuba diving, including safety rules, diving signals (underwater communication), and equipment.
-
Once we have prepared the diving equipment and done a pre-dive safety check with your buddy, it's time to learn to breathe underwater. You will start at the shallow end of the pool, and once you feel comfortable, the instructor will bring you to the deepest part. During the morning pool session, you participate in 3 dives distributed over a single session, including learning diving techniques.
-
This is where you have the opportunity to practice the underwater skills that you reviewed during your learning. You will talk about it in the afternoon with your instructor. You are well prepared for your first 3 dives the next day aboard a boat.
-
After the pool session, which generally ends around 11:45 am, you can enjoy a shower, get changed, and eat lunch.
