Your instructor - Aron de Gouveia - he MIGHT let you wear a mask! At the start of the course there are a series of lectures intended to teach the basics about diving, safety, equipment and the NAUI organization. Once the lectures are complete then it is time to start the pool sessions.

During the pool sessions you will be taught to put the theory in to practice before you dive in open water. You will learn how to use the equipment, how to clear your mask of water, and even how to put it back on underwater. You will also learn how to share your buddies air supply in the unlikely event that there is a problem with your own. These skills and others are practiced until you and your instructor are comfortable that you can perform them easily.

Our final pool session is performed within the safety of the harbour, in safe semi confined water. Where you will complete a final check of your diving skills before making your first of four qualifying dives and seeing for the first time why so many people love this sport.
 
Once the course is complete you will receive a card certifying you as a qualified "Scuba diver". However, it does not end there. As a Scuba diver you are not supposed to dive deeper than 18 m until you have completed the Advanced Scuba diver course.
 
Diving is not difficult, nor is it a dangerous sport. However, there is a potential for accidents and the purpose of training is to ensure you can dive safely. It is possible to buy equipment and dive with no training however, no NAUI affiliated company will allow anyone to rent or buy equipment without at least the NAUI Scuba Diver certificate or its equivalent.
