Have 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 Diving will let you try scuba to see if you like it. While not an actual scuba certification, during the 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.
There is nothing like breathing underwater for the very first time. It takes a little getting used to, but after a few minutes of awestruck wonder, most students realize how easy scuba diving really is. The biggest challenge participants have with the program is being coaxed out of the water when the program is over!
Under the direct supervision of an Islanders Dive Center instructor, you’ll learn:
- 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 that you can be comfortable doing it
- Learn some basic skills and safety rules that will carry over to your full scuba certification course when you take the next step
