DiscoverScuba.jpgHave you ever wondered what it’s like to breathe underwater. If you want to find out but aren’t quite ready to take the plunge into a certification course, Discover Scuba and Discover Scuba Diving will let you try scuba to see if you like it. Most PADI dive shops offer a version of this program, either in a pool or other body of water (Three Sisters Springs April 1st Thru November 14th) located in Crystal River Florida. You might try it close to home after your morning Manatee Swim @ 7:30am, add the Discover Scuba for the afternoon and spend the day in Crystal River. If you would like to spend 2 days of Snorkeling and Diving, visit our Vacation Page. Book your morning Manatee Swim @7:30am and then then allow MSDT ( Master Scuba Diver Instructor) Instructor Gene and Instructor Gearld to take you on an amazing afternoon get away after lunch, underwater! 
While not an actual scuba certification, during the Discover Scuba and Discover Scuba Diving experience you’ll learn how to use scuba equipment in shallow water and get a quick and easy introduction to what it takes to explore the underwater world.

The Fun Part

There is nothing like breathing underwater for the very first time. It takes a little getting used to –after all, human beings weren’t designed to do that – but after a few minutes of awestruck wonder, most participants realize how easy scuba diving really is. The biggest challenge instructors have with the Discover Scuba Diving program is not coaxing participants into the water, but coaxing them out when the program is over. The fun part? It’s all fun!

  • Plus, you can get credit! If your Discover Scuba Diving program includes an actual scuba dive in open water, your experience may count toward PADI Scuba Diver or Open Water Diver certification, putting you a step ahead of the game when you decide to go for it. Even become a PADI Scuba Instructor and conduct your own Discover Scuba Diving classes.

The Learning Part

You learn the basics you need to dive under the direct supervision of a PADI Professional. One thing you’ll learn is that you really can breathe underwater and whether you like doing that or not. You will:

  • Learn what wearing scuba equipment feels like and how easy it is to move around underwater while wearing it
  • Find out what it’s like to breathe underwater and learn whether you can be comfortable there
  • Learn some basic skills and safety rules that will carry over to your full scuba certification course when you take the next step

The Scuba Gear You Use Part

All the equipment you will need is typically included in a Discover Scuba Diving experience. You’ll use all the basic scuba gear including a mask , snorkel and fins, a buoyancy compensating jacket that also carries your scuba tank, a scuba regulator to breathe from and instrumentation to monitor depth and air supply. You might also wear a scuba wetsuit or a weight system depending on where you do your Discover Scuba Diving program.
Ask our staff where you plan to take your Discover Scuba Diving program about the scuba equipment you’ll use.
