Try SCUBA
Discover SCUBA Diving
Curious about scuba diving but not ready to sign up for a full certification course? Try SCUBA gives you the opportunity to experience breathing underwater and learn basic scuba skills in a closely supervised pool environment.
What to Expect
Learn the Basics
Your Dive Professional will introduce you to the equipment and basic concepts you need to safely and comfortably experience scuba diving.
Get in the Water
You'll spend approximately 1.5 hours in the pool learning basic skills, becoming comfortable with the equipment, and experiencing what it feels like to breathe and move underwater.
See If SCUBA Is for You
Try SCUBA is an introductory experience and does not result in an Open Water SCUBA Diver certification. If you enjoy the experience, your next step is the SCUBA Diver course.
