The first dive

"It is your turn ! You are here floatting on the water and strapped in the buoyancy compensator. The oxybottle on the back you do not feel any weight. In front of you the instructor drain slowly your life jacket. The contracted fingers on the rigging of the buoy which keep your balance, you begin to feel the water on your chin. Your heart beats a little more faster. Your face protected by the masque is now entirely under water. By reflex you hold your breath. You hesitate few seconds and you decide to inhale softly in the pressure regulator. You are surprised because there is no water and the air comes easily ! Now you had the great feeling of your first submarine air so you let yourself confident guided by your monitor. Now all you need to do is to open your eyes and enjoy the incredibles landscapes that offer the submarine life."

Instructor's advice :

Your first dive have to be an unforgettable moment of your life and also unforgettable by the incredible feelings provided and the beauty of the submarine world.

In any case your instructor will try hard to gather the best conditions for this first immersion namely a reliable equipment, a sunny day, a quiet and warm sea, not so much people on the boat, an appropriate site and a very low deep underwater. In your interest the instructor can cancel the dive if the weather conditions are not adapted.
