" I've always wanted to try Scuba Diving ~!!"

 

We hear this all the time, and we'd like to invite you to our Discover Scuba Program.  

 

Discover is the perfect opportunity for you to kick the tires, try on the gear, get under water and experience what Scuba is all about 

  




  Discover Scuba starts with an assessment of the students swimming ability and an introduction to the basics of Snorkeling.  
     

  Students are introduced  and familiarized with Tanks, Regulators, Buoyancy Compensators and all the equipment, afterwhich, they try it all on, in shallow (@3feet deep ) water. If the student has any problems, no problem, just stand up.  
  Students are taught a few basic skills  to get  some good "downtime" out of their Discover session. We'll also demonstrate to students some advanced tecniques that they would be required to learn to become a NAUI certified Diver  


  Once (and only If) the student feels
confident, we progressively dive a bit deeper and practise few basic scuba skills like ear-clearing, buoyancy control, ascending and descending.

If at ANYTIME, the student is uncomfortable with any part of the process they are welcomed to and are encouraged to stop.  Instructors, nor any other individuals, (family, friend, parent, spouse, etc) will not “push” a student beyond their level of comfort. If the student wishes to stop they are encouraged to say so.
