This modern approach means you can spend less time in a classroom and more time in the water when you arrive.

Day 2 – Pool Training & First Breaths Underwater
This is where the real fun begins! You'll meet your PADI Instructor and fellow students, review the key theory, and get acquainted with your scuba gear.
