Why Should I Do A Try Dive?
With over 70% of our beautiful blue planet being water, we are sure you have dreamed of seeing what is below its surface and interacting with the amazing animals and creatures that live in this gravity-free environment. Few people have the good fortune and privilege to interact with the wonders of our underwater world, and diving is something all the family can do together: even kids as young as 10 years old.
Take your first breaths underwater
RAID Try Dive is an introduction to the underwater world that you will never forget. You will take your first breaths underwater, and you will learn to glide through the water neutrally buoyant allowing a level of freedom unlike any other experience. You will also meet other people who share your interest for unending, exciting adventures.
All you need is an adventurous spirit
The RAID Try Dive program allows you to enjoy a controlled underwater adventure on scuba under the watchful eye and protection of a qualified RAID Try Dive instructor. This program is open to anyone who can swim and who is 10 years of age or older. All you need is an adventurous spirit, a swimming costume, and a towel.
Kids and Scuba Diving
There is nothing stronger than a kid’s curiosity and the affinity they have for water, and the very idea of breathing underwater allows their imaginations, and thirst for adventure to ignite. The thrill of floating effortlessly mid-water in this three-dimensional environment for the first time is something they will never forget.
RAID’s Try Dive program lets them enjoy an underwater adventure on scuba in the confines of a swimming pool under the watchful eye and protection of a qualified RAID instructor. As long as they master the skills and are comfortable, they could continue and do a dive in open water.
