PADI Discover Scuba Diving
The PADI Discover Scuba Diving program introduces people to scuba diving in a highly supervised and relaxed manner. It dispels common misconceptions about scuba by letting individuals try it for themselves. First, you'll get a brief orientation and master some basic concepts before proceeding to the shallow water to practice some skills.
There, you'll learn to use scuba equipment and get accustomed to your new surroundings and gain vital confidence in your own ability. Finally, under your Instructor's careful supervision, you'll go diving as deep as 12 metres.
The Discover Scuba Diving experience is a great way to get started with diving before your first official dive certification. Because the skills you complete during your adventure are the first skills of the PADI Open Water Course, you will earn some credits for them. If you decide later to conduct in a diving course, you don't have to do these skills again. Make your first step in the underwater world and Discover Scuba Diving!
Please note, PADI Discover Scuba Diving does not certify you to dive.
