Discovery Pack

The discovery pack is for those who may not have the time to do the 6 dives required to get the level 1 diving certificate. Thanks to its 3 training dives, it allows you to start your level 1 course which can then be completed in another FFESSM-approved club.

• Know, use, and maintain your equipment
• Communicate underwater thanks to the main signals
