The program, sometimes also called resort diver, is an introduction to scuba diving for adults and children age 10 and up. You do not need to be a great swimmer, just comfortable in the water and you will need to answer a simple medical questionnaire. The program is modeled after the first lesson in the Open Water Diver certification program, and is limited to four students per instructor. Most often the class size is one or two students. The program is divided into three sections, knowledge development, confined water skills and the open water dive. The knowledge development covers items such as hand signals, breathing rules and equalization techniques. There will also be a demonstration of the equipment you will be using and you will try on and fit your gear. The second section is the confined water skills. This is done in the shallow water in front of the resort. These are the same task that divers learn in their first water session, do not worry they are as easy as breathing. In fact, the first task is breathing, using your regulator. The regulator is gently held in your mouth with your teeth lightly biting down on the mouthpiece and your lips providing a seal over it. You breath normally through your mouth. Another critical skill that is practiced is recovering the regulator if for some reason you lose it. You will be shown two methods while on land and will practice in the shallow water. The methods are fool proof and become second nature within just a few practices. It is not uncommon for a new diver having to use this task. They will get a smile on their face so big or drop there jaw at something so awesome that they forget about the regulator and it drops from their mouths. Divers will also practice the equalization techniques that were discussed and how to remove water from their mask underwater if it leaks a little. The last task to be practiced is inflation and deflation of the BCD at the surface. When you and your instructor are comfortable you have mastered the simple task, it is time for the open water session.
