Start with the briefing, learn how the equipment works and practise the skills you will use underwater. An instructor then accompanies the dive, giving you a different way to spend a free morning during your E-Prix trip.\n\nChoose this outing if you want an introduction rather than a full certification course. The advertised half-day programme includes the scuba equipment and resort entry, with underwater time usually around 30–40 minutes. It runs from shore at a resort, so confirm the selected venue and its facilities when arranging the day. Ask whether non-diving companions can come along and what their entry would cost.\n\nPut the dive comfortably ahead of your flight home. Complete the operator’s medical screening before booking, discuss any health questions with a qualified professional and confirm the no-fly interval for your actual dive plan.
