SDI Scuba Discovery Program
Try Scuba · Pool Session · Ages 10 and up
Breathing underwater for the first time is hard to describe until you've done it. The Scuba Discovery Program is the easiest way to try it. You spend a session in the pool with one of our instructors, learn a few basic skills, and get to swim around and see how it feels, no certification and no commitment required. If you love it, the door to getting certified is right there. And if it turns out diving isn't your thing, you've spent an easy afternoon in the water finding out.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to know how to swim?
Basic comfort in the water helps, but you don't need to be a strong swimmer. Everything happens in the pool where you can stand up, and an instructor is with you the whole time.

Do I need any scuba experience?

How long does it take?
Plan on about two and a half hours at the pool. That gives you time to get fitted, go over the basics, and spend a good while actually diving.

Does this certify me to dive?
No, the Discovery Program is a taste, not a certification. If you love it and want to dive open water, the next step is the SDI Open Water Scuba Diver Course, and our team can walk you through it.

Can I do it with my kid or a friend?
