What does the in-water orientation entail?

What you need to know before it starts

Orientation

Prior to taking part in any of our weeknight or weekend beginning scuba courses, you need to attend one of our four-hour, in-water orientations. (This requirement does not apply to private lessons.) These orientation sessions help ensure your scuba course is the best learning experience possible. They help you avoid learning to dive with uncomfortable, ill-fitting equipment, and allow you to start your training with comfort and confidence. $150/person.

Gear up

To take part in the orientation, you must supply the following items:

  • Mask
  • Snorkel
  • Scuba fins
  • Wetsuit boots
  • Weight belt and weights

Harry’s Dive Shop stocks a wide selection of these items, all reflecting the highest levels of quality and reliability. With proper care, they can last for decades.

Consult us before making any purchases so that you can take advantage of our years of experience.
