How Discover Scuba Diving Works

Before you arrive, each participant completes the PADI Discover Scuba Diving eLearning. This helps you understand the basic safety concepts and saves time when you arrive at the dive site.

When you arrive, your instructor will review your paperwork, answer your questions, help you get comfortable with the equipment, and introduce you to the basic skills you need for your dive. You will practice these skills in shallow water before continuing on a guided shore dive with your instructor.

You do not need previous scuba experience. You only need to be comfortable in the water, meet the minimum age requirement, and complete the required medical questionnaire.
