Description
Discover Scuba Diving is the perfect
experience for those who are envious of discovering what it is like to breathe
underwater.
However, the DSC course is only a quick and
easy introduction to scuba diving and does not give you diving certification,
but will teach you all the steps necessary to be a PADI certified diver.
This is the best way to make sure you are
comfortable with diving if you are a novice!
PADI dive shops offer this program either
in a pool, off a beach or from a dive boat. You can try scuba close to home or
while you’re on vacation at a dive destination.

you make an open water dive, you’ll practice a few more skills in shallow water
to prepare yourself for the rest of your underwater adventures.
