Friendly Austrian Couple Tries For The First Time Scuba Diving

This friendly Austrian couple wanted to do something different during their holidays in São Miguel Island, so they did the PADI Discover Scuba Diving Program (DSD).  

This program starts with a small explanation about the scuba gear and some basic techniques needed to dive safely. The 1st section of the DSD program is conducted in a swimming pool of the beautiful country house - Pico do Refúgio - in the north part of the island. There, you will learn how to control your buoyancy and, after some turns in the pool with the dive gear, the students are ready to do the 2nd section of this program in the sea. We sailed to São Roque islet, a dive site with 9m of maximum depth.

Portugal won the Euro 2016!!! We were so proud and happy that we had to bring the Portuguese scarf with us during the DSD :)
