Who is PADI Discover Scuba Diving a good course for?

If you’re interested in scuba diving, but unsure if you want to enroll in a scuba certification class, or have very limited time to do the required study for earning a certification. Discover Scuba Diving is a good way to test the waters. In a very short time, you’ll learn basic scuba skills and take your first addictive breaths underwater. After a short introduction to Scuba in our private 10ft training pool, you will have the options to

  1. Join your instructor on a boat diving trip as a Discover Scuba student within a week of completing your pool session.
  2. Enroll in our full PADI certification class and start your elearning academics and continue your dive education within a year to get fully open water dive certified.

 Prerequisites & Minimum Age

  • You must be 10 years old or older 
  • 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. If you review this now it will allow you time to get approved if it necessary.
