POOL  TRAINING

The participant will be able to learn the following three part during training 

DSD: part one

First, the instructor briefs divers on breathing rules and equalization techniques, equipment purpose and use, hand signals, regulator and mask clearing techniques and responsible interactions with aquatic life, particularly when conducting the program outside of a pool environment. The instructor will also strongly emphasize the importance of watching and staying close to the professional diver supervising the in-water experience and the limitations of the program. They’ll also reinforce the value of further training, should the DSD participants enjoy the experience.

It is vitally important that all participants understand precisely what will happen when in the water, what to do in the event of a problem. With that in mind, each participant must complete and sign the Discover Scuba Diving Knowledge and Safety Review.

DSD: part two

The second step is to progress to the pool or shallow, confined open water. Candidates learn how their gear works and practice BCD inflation and deflation at the surface. Next, they’ll learn the correct breathing technique and practice blowing bubbles.

Once candidates are comfortable beneath the surface, the instructor will demonstrate and assess key safety skills with the candidate. The instructor must ensure that candidates are able to successfully complete the following skills prior to moving to an open-water setting with a depth of up to 40 feet (12 m):

1. Breathing underwater
2. Regulator clearing
3. Regulator recovery
4. Mask clearing
5. Equalization techniques

DSD: part three

Finally, having successfully completed the skills, participants can participate in a tour of an open-water dive site under an instructor’s close supervision.
