If you’re curious about scuba diving but not quite ready to commit to a full certification course, a Discover Scuba Diving experience is the peect introduction. You’ll start in a pool or calm water environment, where you’ll learn a few basic scuba skills and take your very first breaths underwater. It’s a safe and exciting way to experience the underwater world for the first time—and a great opportunity to see if scuba diving is something you’d like to pursue further by becoming a certified diver. 

Before you get in the water, you'll spend 20-30 minutes learning dive safety fundamentals. Study independently on a computer or mobile device with PADI eLearning®, or read the PADI® Discover Scuba Diving Participant Guide. Next, a PADI Divemaster or Instructor will provide scuba gear and explain how to use it. They will answer any questions you may have about scuba diving and scuba certification and help you practice basic scuba diving skills in a pool or calm water environment. Your Discover Scuba Diving experience will conclude with free time in the pool or a guided open water dive.
