If you want to try scuba diving but aren't ready to sign up for a scuba certification course, a Discover Scuba® Diving experience is the perfect way to test the waters.
Before you get in the water, you’ll spend 20-30 minutes learning the fundamentals of scuba diving safety. 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 equip you with scuba gear and explain how to use it. They’ll 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. Ready to dive in? Contact a PADI Dive Shop or PADI Professional to schedule a Discover Scuba Diving (DSD®) experience.
