PADI Discover Scuba Diving
A great introduction to SCUBA in just a few hours!
No prior experience required. Must be medically fit and over the age of 10.
Spend around 45 minutes with your instructor receiving an orientation to diving and an introduction to your equipment before learning some basic scuba skills in the calm, clear shallow water right outside the dive center.
Then experience the thrill and adventure of your first open water dive on Cheeseburger Reef, just a few fin kicks away, to no deeper than 40ft /12m. Here you’ll encounter tropical fish, coral formations and a whole host of other marine life that we can guarantee will put a smile on your face that will last all day!
The PADI Discover Scuba Diving course may be credited towards a PADI Scuba Diver or PADI Open Water Diver Course – your instructor can give you further details. And if you really loved your dive but don’t have time to complete a full certification course, you can join us for additional dives without repeating the skills.
