Description:

You want to experience the underwater world, be a scuba diver, but aren’t quite ready to take the plunge into a certification course? “Discover Scuba Diving” is perfect for experiencing the first sensations of scuba diving. It is a quick introduction into what it takes to explore the oceans, that’s 70% of the Earth’s surface. Although this is not a certification course, you’ll be trained in some basic Scuba skills, and be awarded a PADI certificate for having completed the training.

The Discover Scuba Diving program includes a quick briefing on some basics of diving, hand signals, dive gear use, and dive safety guidelines. This is followed by a pool training session (called a confined water dive).  The pool training session allows you to get comfortable with your dive gear and with being underwater. You practice basic diving skills such as use of the underwater hand signals, clearing your regulator, recovering your regulator underwater and clearing your  mask. While this completes your DSD program, we also take you for an Open Water Dive the next morning, now that you are sea ready.

Hop on to a boat and head to the local dive sites around Grande Island, Goa. Since it’s always “Safety First” in Scuba Diving, and we have a zero compromise attitude towards safety, your 40-minute sea dive will be under the direct supervision of a PADI Certified Open Water Scuba  Instructor. (Just in case you are wondering, this is the minimum level of professional certification required to be able to take a novice diver underwater for his or her first dive).
