You'll start with a quick overall introduction to the Mares Horizon unit while it's set up by your Instructor. Then there will be a review of the Pre-Dive Safety Checklist and a briefing on how the unit functions. Next, we will set you up with a wetsuit for the splashdown in our heated outdoor pool. From there your instructor will direct you on how to don the unit, review surface procedures, familiarize you with the onboard computer, and do a weight check. Now you are ready to wander around our pool and experience the truly Silent World and observe the different buoyancy effects of a SCR system. When your time is up, your Instructor will assist you with doffing the unit and talk to you about options going forward if you decide this stealthy form of SCUBA fits your needs.
