If you ever dreamed of discovering the underwater world, the Discover Scuba Dive is your perfect chance to get a first hand experience on this magical outdoor activity.
The first part of your PADI Discover Scuba Diving course is all about equipment: learn what gear you need to scuba dive, and how to use it to move around under water. It is a controlled, closed-water chance to practice your skills at the dive center, and to take your first breaths underwater.
Next, we will head for the sea and explore the Pedernales wreck 25 ft (8 meters) deep. You will dive alongside your PADI-certified instructor, and start exploring the vivid colors and wildlife of the Caribbean's marine world. While Discover Scuba Diving is not a scuba certification course, it’s the perfect chance to see if scuba diving is a good fit for you, and could be the very first step in a lifetime of scuba diving around the world.
All divers need to pass by our office to purchase a book ($5 USD), learn it and be able to answer questions before the pool session begins. Divers also need to fill in paperwork and medical questions.
Your Discover Scuba Dive starts with a 30 to 45 minute lesson at our dive shop. In this lesson you'll learn how to put your dive equipment together and other basic diving skills.
Once you are all set then you are ready to go to the dive location.
Before you will start with the dive, you will get to try and experience what it's like to breathe underwater. Once you feel confident enough, your instructor takes you to explore the underwater world, up to a maximum depth of 39 feet (12 meters).
When you dive, you will follow behind your tour guide in a small group, enjoying customized attention and the flexibility to move at your own pace while you get used to being underwater and practice diving techniques.
You will experience first-hand beautiful coral and Caribbean fish on this experience.
