With two real dives in the sea, this course gives you the confidence to pursue further diving opportunities and introduces you to the incredible underwater world. Whether you’re looking for a new adventure or simply want to experience the thrill of scuba diving, the RAID Try Dive - 2 Dives Sea will leave you with unforgettable memories and a passion for the ocean.

The RAID Try Dive - 2 Dives Sea is an exceptional opportunity to experience scuba diving in the open water, perfect for beginners who want to take the plunge into the ocean and explore marine life firsthand. This course is designed to give participants a deeper dive into the world of scuba diving, featuring two exciting dives in real open-water conditions. Under the supervision of RAID-certified instructors, you’ll learn essential diving skills while experiencing the thrill and beauty of the ocean. The RAID Try Dive - 2 Dives Sea is ideal for those who want to explore the wonders of the underwater world without committing to a full certification course.

At Aqua Ventura Divers, we offer the RAID Try Dive - 2 Dives Sea as a chance for beginners to develop their confidence in scuba diving while having fun and learning in a safe, supportive environment. The course combines a brief orientation and skill training with the excitement of two guided open-water dives, providing a comprehensive first dive experience.

What to Expect in the RAID Try Dive - 2 Dives Sea

The RAID Try Dive - 2 Dives Sea course typically begins with a short but informative briefing on land, where your instructor will explain the scuba equipment you'll be using, such as the mask, regulator, fins, and buoyancy control device (BCD). The gear introduction ensures that you are familiar with the equipment before entering the water, giving you time to ask any questions and ensure your comfort. Once the briefing is complete, it’s time to head out to the dive site and get into the water.

Unlike a typical "Try Dive," which often takes place in a pool or shallow water, the RAID Try Dive - 2 Dives Sea offers the exciting experience of diving in open water. The course is designed to take place in calm, shallow areas of the sea, perfect for beginner divers. The first dive allows participants to get comfortable with the sensation of being underwater, breathing through the regulator, and adjusting buoyancy. Your instructor will be with you every step of the way, ensuring your safety and providing guidance on skills such as maintaining buoyancy, clearing your mask, and communicating underwater.

After a short surface interval to rest and reflect on your first dive, the second dive is your chance to further explore the marine environment and refine the skills you’ve learned. The second dive typically involves more exploration and can include observing local marine life, such as fish, corals, and other underwater creatures. By the end of the two dives, you’ll have a much better understanding of scuba diving and a deeper appreciation for the ocean.

Safety-First Approach

Safety is a key focus in the RAID Try Dive - 2 Dives Sea. Aqua Ventura Divers ensures that you are always in good hands with certified RAID instructors who are experienced in teaching beginners. With a small instructor-to-diver ratio, you’ll receive personalized attention, ensuring you feel supported throughout the course.

Before heading into the water, your instructor will take the time to review essential safety procedures, including hand signals, emergency procedures, and the proper use of equipment. During the dives, you’ll receive continuous supervision, ensuring that all safety protocols are followed. The dive sites are selected carefully to ensure calm, shallow waters that are ideal for beginner divers, providing a safe and comfortable environment for your first sea dives.

Learning Key Scuba Skills

During the RAID Try Dive - 2 Dives Sea, you’ll have the opportunity to practice and refine several key scuba skills, such as:

  • Breathing Underwater: Mastering the skill of breathing through the regulator and adapting to the underwater environment.
  • Buoyancy Control: Developing the ability to maintain neutral buoyancy and move with ease underwater.
  • Underwater Communication: Using hand signals to communicate with your instructor and dive buddy while underwater.
  • Mask Clearing: Learning to clear your mask of water while underwater, a crucial skill for all divers.

These skills are taught in a relaxed and supportive way, with an emphasis on fun and safety. By the time you finish the second dive, you’ll feel more confident and comfortable with the basics of scuba diving.

Exploring the Ocean

One of the main highlights of the RAID Try Dive - 2 Dives Sea is the chance to explore real marine environments. During your dives, you’ll get to see a variety of underwater life, such as schools of fish, colorful corals, and other fascinating marine creatures. The experience of being submerged in the sea and witnessing ocean life firsthand is truly magical. Many participants leave the course feeling inspired and eager to continue their diving adventures.

Instructors provide brief insights into the marine ecosystem, helping you understand the local environment and the importance of protecting it. The second dive allows you to explore the area more fully, so you get a deeper connection with the ocean.

What’s Included

The RAID Try Dive - 2 Dives Sea includes all necessary diving equipment, so you don’t need to worry about bringing your own gear. All you need is swimwear, a towel, and a sense of adventure! Upon completion, you’ll receive a certificate of participation to commemorate your first open-water dives.
