AquaMission 1
AquaMission 1 is your first step in becoming a member of the PADI Seal Team. During your first AquaMission you learn how to swim underwater with your diving equipment. We teach how to speak with hand signals. With this you can communicate how much air you have in your tank. Also we teach you how to compensate the water pressure in your eyes.

AquaMission 2
The first phase is a lot of fun, the second phase you will love more! You will learn underwater how to take out the regulator for your lungs and how to put it back in your mouth. We will teach you how to take out what that gets in your lung regulator and the way to compensate the pressure of your mask and to blow air into your tarier jacket. Besides you will learn a great deal of new and exciting games underwater.

AquaMission 3
In the AquaMission 2, your diving instructor will teach you a lot of other things, the way to fill your Tarier Jacket with air. Ok now, in AquaMission 3 fill your Tarier Jacket with air to get out of it after. We explain also, during the dive, how to empty water out of your mask and how to handle the alternate air supply. Excuse me, let me explain: this is called the automatic reserve apparatus that you always have with you for security reasons. Of course, you also learn new hand signals in AquaMission 3!
