Discover Scuba Diving

PADI Discover Scuba Diving (DSD) program is a one day, try-diving experience for anyone aged 10+. It is not a full dive certification, but a great way to connect with the underwater world and discover if scuba diving is for you. In this experience, you will learn about diving safety, how to use scuba gear, perform basic scuba diving skills in shallow water, and take your first breaths underwater.

The experience varies from person to person depending on how quickly (or slowly) you breathe the air in your scuba tank. Most experiences last between 30 and 45 minutes in the pool. You should plan on at least 2-3 hours for the whole Discover Scuba Diving experience.

Safety is my top priority in the PADI Discover Scuba Diving program. I will ensure a secure and enjoyable experience, guiding you through every step in a controlled environment. Dive confidently, knowing you're in safe hands as you explore the underwater world for the first time!

Scuba diving requires a minimum level of health and fitness. Chronic health conditions, certain medications and/or recent surgery may require you to get written approval from a physician before diving.

Avoid disappointment, download and review the Diver Medical form to ensure you won’t need a physician’s approval to dive before enrolling in a scuba course. I am not a physician and should not be asked for medical advice; only medical professionals can give medical clearance to dive.

If you (or your physician) have questions about medical fitness to dive, contact the experts at Divers Alert Network (DAN).
