The Experience
What your day looks like
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. Most PADI dive shops offer a version of this program, either in a pool or other body of water. You might try it close to home or while you are on vacation. While not an actual scuba certification, during the Discover Scuba Diving experience you will 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 were not 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 is all fun!

Our guides amazing. With me and our youngest daughter the ''weak links'' of our group, one guide stay behind and took really really good care of us and actually helped us succeed in joining the rest of our family at the bottom of the ocean. It was actually my youngest daughter's Bday gift, and she was estatic to have succeeded.
