What is a Discover Scuba Dive?

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. An optional open water dive is also available.

How long is a Discover Scuba Dive?

The experience varies from person to person depending on how quickly (or slowly) you breathe the air in your scuba tank. Most recreational dives last between 30 and 50 minutes.

How deep can Discover Scuba Diving go?

First of all, it’s important to know that you will not go any deeper than you feel comfortable with. The maximum depth for a Discover Scuba Diving experience is 6 meters for the initial pool session and 12 meters if you do the optional open water dive, but that does not mean you have to go that deep.

Is Discover Scuba safe?

Discover Scuba Diving experiences are conducted by PADI Instructors. PADI Pros undergo rigorous training and exams to ensure that they can safely accompany and teach those who are new to scuba diving.
