PADI DISCOVER SCUBA DIVING
As of January 1, 2017, DIVING FOR FUN will NO LONGER be offering training services. However, we wanted to continue to provide a list of the classes we offered along with course outlines as a reference for all our past customers.

PADI Discover Scuba Diving - Dive BuddysCourse Overview: You can check out scuba diving to see if it is for you without having to pay a lot of money or take a lot of time.  It's a great way to see if you are going to like scuba diving before you sign up for a class. It's fun, it doesn't take a lot of time and it does not cost a lot to do.

Prerequisites: You must be at least 10 years old.

Course Activities: The Discover Scuba Diving course does NOT result in certification.  It is only for experience but a great way to check out scuba diving before you enroll in class. To get a certification, you need to do the Scuba Diver or the Open Water Diver certifications. The Scuba Diver allows you to go to a maximum of 40 feet while under the supervision of a Professional (Divemaster or above). The Open Water Diver certification allows you to dive independently with a buddy without supervision.

Forms Required: You will need to complete and sign a Discover Scuba Diving Brochure.

 OPTION 1 - DSD POOL EXPERIENCE

Activities:
  • You watch a short Discover Scuba Diving Video or go through the Discover Scuba Diving Flip chart with us - takes about 20 minutes and is easy!
  • Then we get ready to get into the pool.
  • We fit you for a mask, fins, snorkel, weight belt and BCD (to make sure that you will be comfortable).
  • We show you how to prepare your mask with defog (so that you will be able to see underwater).
  • We get into the pool and we assist you with putting on your BCD with tank and regulator and with donning your fins, mask and snorkel.
  • Then we show you some very basic skills like how to get the water out of your regulator before you put it in your mouth and how to breathe off of a regulator under water.
  • Then the fun! First you swim around in the shallow area. Once you are comfortable, we take you on a tour in the deeper water. You get to dive!
  • Then we get ready to get into the pool.
Length of Course: The course takes approximately two hours from start to finish.

What you need to bring: We provide everything for you. All you need to bring is swimsuit and towel.

Where: The course is conducted at our swimming or other location with pool like conditions.
