Discover Scuba Diving

(One dive introduction to Scuba Diving +- 3hrs)

The PADI Discover Scuba Diving program introduces people to scuba diving in a highly supervised and relaxed manner. You can be diving in an hour. It dispels common misconceptions about scuba by letting individuals try it for themselves. Under the guidance of a PADI professional, new divers learn basic safety concepts, put on equipment and swim around underwater in a closely supervised environment. The PADI Discover Scuba Diving program can take place in a swimming pool, protected confined open water area or at an open water dive site. After trying scuba, many new divers may decide to repeat the experience. Others will choose to pursue certification by enrolling in a PADI Scuba Diver or Open Water Diver course. When certain requirements are met, new divers may earn credit toward PADI Scuba Diver and Open Water Diver certification.
