PADI Discover Scuba

The PADI Discover Scuba program is your chance to breathe underwater in a fun and convenient environment (confined water area or swimming pool). It's never been easier to try diving!

PADI Discover Scuba Diving

Discover excitement and adventure - freedom and serenity. Nothing compares to the "weightless" exhilaration of breathing underwater. Only a diver knows the feeling!

The same sites that offer spectacular snorkeling also provide the ideal setting for individuals wishing to discover the wonders of the undersea world through scuba diving. Because these sites originate from the beach, you are introduced to this new sport in a calm and relaxing atmosphere.

To discover scuba diving, follow these three easy steps. First, your instructor provides a brief orientation. Second, you go diving in a confined water area (pool-like setting) or swimming pool. There you'll learn to use scuba equipment and get accustomed to your new surroundings. Third, with an instructor, you go on a dive adventure in the ocean to get a close-up look at the underwater world. It's an unforgettable experience. And best of all, the skills you acquire during your dive adventures may count toward PADI Scuba Diver and Open Water Diver certifications!
