What is a PADI Discover Scuba Diving Experience?
This is for complete beginners, although many choose to repeat the experience several times. This is a non certification experience program, over approximately 3 hours your PADI pro will take you through the basics of your equipment, safety protocols and some shallow water skill practice, before heading off for an Open Water dive on the house reef, warning, this may change your life! Participants must be 10 years or older, if between 10 and 18 years old, a parent or guardian must be present during the briefing.
The PADI Discover Scuba Diving Experience (known as DSD) is an introduction to scuba diving. PADI’s DSD provides you with the theory and knowledge you need to be comfortable and safe while scuba diving for the first time. Your DSD may take place in a swimming pool or in another body of calm water (lake, quarry, etc.). You can also opt for an additional dive in the ocean in some seaside areas.
PADI’s DSD experience has been the gateway to scuba diving for thousands of divers, and it could be for you too!
Once you have completed your DSD and feel reassured that scuba diving is for you, you are ready to begin your journey from DSD to Open Water Diver – and with a DSD already under your belt, some advantages go with it.
