For those who want to test the waters and try scuba diving, this is the course for you!

The SDI Scuba Discovery Program gives you a glimpse of what you can expect to experience in the underwater world as well as what you could expect to learn in the SDI Open Water Scuba Diver course.

During this experience program, you will go through the basic safety procedures for enjoyable scuba diving under the watchful eye of an active SDI Instructor.

You will learn skills such as equalizing your ears, buddy checks, basic buoyancy control, underwater communication, and more. You will also be given an introduction to basic scuba equipment followed by an underwater tour in the local pool or aquatic environment.

This course is for anyone who wants to experience the underwater world or anyone who wants an introductory course prior to enrolling in the Open Water Scuba Course. If you decide to become an Open Water Diver within six months, the cost of your SDI Scuba SDI Scuba Discovery Course will be discounted from your SDI Open Water Course.
