Try Scuba – Your First Breaths Underwater
Many guests are curious about scuba diving but are not sure if it is for them.
At Incredible Paradise Camping you can safely try how it feels to breathe underwater in the shallow, crystal‑clear water right in front of the beach – a short, relaxed experience that takes about half an hour and is completely free for our guests.
What This Experience Is (And What It Is Not)
This is not a diving course and you do not get a licence or certificate.
It is a simple “try scuba” moment for complete beginners: sitting or kneeling in waist‑deep water with a tank on your back, regulator in your mouth and me beside you all the time, so you can see that breathing with scuba equipment is actually easy and calm.
There is no going deep, no long theory lesson and no pressure to perform.
You stay where you can still stand up at any moment, and if you feel uncomfortable, we simply stop.
How It Works
On the beach I show you the basic equipment – tank, regulator, jacket, mask – and explain how to breathe slowly and normally through your mouth.
We put the gear on and walk a few steps into shallow water, where you can sit or kneel on the pebbles.
You put your face in the water and take your first breaths from the tank, always with my hand close to you and with clear hand signals for “OK” and “up”.
Most people are surprised how quickly they relax.
After a few minutes we may move a little, look at the stones and small fish around us and simply enjoy the feeling of floating while breathing underwater.
Who Can Join
This mini experience is made for:
Complete beginners who have never tried scuba before and just want to see how it feels.
Guests who are a little afraid of deep water but are curious about diving in a very safe, controlled way.
Teenagers who can swim and are comfortable putting their head under water (always with me nearby).
You only need to be healthy, able to swim and comfortable in shallow water.
If you already know that you want a real scuba course with deeper dives and a certificate, I will gladly recommend a professional dive centre on Hvar.
A Free Taste of the Underwater World
For many guests this is one of the most memorable half hours of their holiday: sitting in warm, clear water, listening to the sound of bubbles and realising that you can breathe calmly with your head under the surface.
Some decide that this small try dive is enough; others discover a new passion and later continue with an official course elsewhere – in both cases, you get a safe and enjoyable first contact with scuba in the most relaxed way possible.
If you would like to try this free shallow‑water scuba experience during your stay, just tell me on arrival so we can choose a calm, sunny moment when the sea is perfectly clear and you can really enjoy your first breaths underwater.
