DiveGurus - SSI Scuba Diving for Beginners in Boracay

What your day looks like

There is nothing like breathing underwater for the very first time. It takes a little getting used to and after all, human beings weren't designed to do that, but after a few minutes of awestruck wonder, most participants realize how easy scuba diving really is. The biggest challenge instructors have with the SSI basic Diver program is not coaxing participants into the water, but coaxing them out when the program is over. - Plus, you can get credit! If your SSI Basic Diver program includes an actual scuba dive in open water, your experience may count toward SSI Open Water Diver certification, putting you a step ahead of the game when you decide to go for it. What You Learn You learn the basics you need to dive under the direct supervision of a SSI Professional. One thing you'll learn is that you really can breathe underwater and whether you like doing that or not. You will: - Learn what wearing scuba equipment feels like and how easy it is to move around underwater while wearing it. - Find out what it's like to breathe underwater and learn whether you can be comfortable there. - Learn some basic skills and safety rules that will carry over to your full scuba certification course when you take the next step. The Scuba Gear You Use All the equipment you will need is typically included in a Basic Diver experience. You'll use all the basic scuba gear including a mask, snorkel and fins, a buoyancy compensating jacket that also carries your scuba tank, a scuba regulator to breathe from and instrumentation to monitor depth and air supply. You might also wear a scuba wetsuit or a weight system depending on where you do your SSI basic diver program.
