Baptismo

Rhea Dive offers the SSI Try Scuba Diving program, known locally as 'Baptismo', providing an accessible entry into the underwater realm. This introductory experience is designed for individuals aged 8 and above, focusing on building comfort and confidence with scuba equipment in a controlled pool environment. Participants will learn fundamental skills such as breathing underwater and basic swimming techniques, ensuring a solid foundation before any open water exploration. The program emphasizes a safe and enjoyable first encounter with diving, making it an ideal stepping stone for those curious about the sport.

While the initial Baptismo experience is conducted within a swimming pool, Rhea Dive also presents the 'Basic Diver' option for those aged 10 and up who wish to immediately experience a sea dive. This progression allows for a direct application of learned skills in a natural marine setting. The center's commitment to foundational training ensures that new divers feel secure and capable, whether practicing in a pool or exploring the ocean.

This introductory dive serves as a gateway for individuals considering further scuba training, such as the SSI Open Water Diver certification. It offers a genuine taste of what scuba diving entails without the full commitment of a certification course. The instructors at Rhea Dive prioritize a positive and educational experience, ensuring that participants leave with a clear understanding of basic diving principles and a desire to explore more.

Participants must be at least 8 years old to join the Baptismo program and will need to complete a medical questionnaire prior to participation. The SSI Try Scuba Diving program, as conducted by Rhea Dive, is structured to introduce the core elements of scuba diving safely and effectively. This initial dive is a fantastic way to gauge your interest in diving and discover the wonders of the aquatic world under expert guidance.
