FAQ
All You Wanted to Know And More
What does the course include?
The Discover Scuba Diving dive consists of a 15-20 minute pre-dive briefing that goes over some basic concepts of diving, including equipment use and four essential skills, such as mask and regulator clearing. At the surface, we'll practice breathing underwater with just our face submerged, as well as inflating and deflating our vest, or BCD. Underwater, we'll practice a few basic skills, and then go on our dive in no time! Most importantly, your job is to just breathe, kick and follow your guide. Too easy!
How many people are on the course?
Each course has a maximum of 4 Discover Scuba Divers per instructor.
Do I need to know how to swim?
Yes! The experience is best if you are comfortable in the water. If you are unsure about your comfort level, please give us a call so that we can help advise you on the best path forward.
What's the difference between a Discover Dive, or DSD, and an Introductory Dive?
There is no difference! Discover Scuba Diving, or DSD, is the PADI name for the introductory diving course for uncertified divers. It's simply a way for people to discover scuba diving without getting certified. An Intro Dive and a DSD are different names for the same thing.
