On the Water
Scuba diving
Try scuba diving with an instructor, or learn to dive with a recognised course. A try dive usually starts in a pool, where an instructor shows you the kit and how to breathe underwater. You stay close to the instructor the whole time.
If you enjoy it, a course such as PADI Open Water takes you towards a certificate you can use anywhere. Ask about age limits, medical forms and what kit is included.
The quick facts
Who it suits
Confident swimmers who want to see underwater. Many centres offer a try dive for beginners and courses for children from around 10.
