Dive in, there's a whole new world to discover.
Most dive centres offer 'try dives', giving inexperienced divers the chance to give it a go and find out what it's like.
If you're really keen you could have a go in the UK. We recommend you make your first dive a memorable one though, and try it in a warm climate at the beginning of your holiday.
Many hotels that have Dive centre's affiliated will offer a 'try dive' in the swimming pool, often at no extra cost if you're an all inclusive customer. This will give you a taste, but it's recommended to try diving in the ocean as well if you can.
For most people, once you've tried it you'll love it, but it's worth doing a try dive to find out if there are any problems before you spend money on a 3- or 4-day course.
