PADI Discover Scuba Diving
About the Course
This program is a fun, introductory experience that lets you try scuba diving under the direct supervision of a PADI Professional. It’s perfect for those who want to experience the thrill of diving without committing to a full certification course. While this is not a certification, it gives you a glimpse into the underwater world and is a great way to determine if you’d like to pursue further dive training.
