What To Expect
In the PADI DSD, we go thru theory (physiology of diving & SCUBA unit overview) before the basic skills training in confined water (water shallow enough to stand up). Then a 10 minutes boat trip to a beautiful spot of our coral garden follows for a dive under the care of a PADI dive instructor. Max depth will be 40 feet, as safety standards require. The descent (bottom starts at 25 feet) is along the mooring line to make things smoother. Dive time depends on the participant's air consumption; the average time is 43 minutes.

No, you don’t need to have any previous Scuba experience, but you must be able to swim without a flotation device.
Mar 2022Participants in the PADI Discover Scuba Diving cannot fly in an airplane within 24 hours of their dive.
The main concern with scuba diving and flying is decompression sickness (DCS). Your body needs adequate time during an ascent to off-gas excess nitrogen, or you can form bubbles in your bloodstream, possibly leading to DCS.
Jun 2024If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy.
