How the kit works
Breathing from a regulator, clearing water from your mask, equalising your ears, and the hand signals you'll use — explained on deck, then fitted to you.
-
Shallow water
Practise until it feels easy
In calm water you can stand up in, you try each skill with your instructor right beside you.

The dive
Your first look at the reef
A slow, guided dive at shallow depth, at your pace, never beyond the programme's limits.

After
Back on deck
Talk it through, log it, and ask how the dive can count towards Open Water if you carry on.
