Learn how to breathe underwater.
PADI Discover Scuba® Diving Experience
Have you ever wondered what it’s like to breathe underwater?
If you want to find out but aren’t quite ready to take the plunge into a full certification course, Discover Scuba Diving is for you.
While not an actual scuba certification, during the Discover Scuba Diving experience you’ll learn how to use scuba equipment in shallow water.
You’ll get a quick and easy introduction to what it takes to explore the underwater world.
The standard course consists of both classroom and pool work, and can be followed up with a Gulf of Mexico dive for an additional fee.
