Discover Scuba Diving

The PADI Discover Scuba Diving (DSD) is a quick and easy introductory try-diving experience for adults and children aged 10+. This program does not require any prior scuba diving experience or even swimming skills. This course introduces you to the basics of scuba diving without certifying you as a diver. The DSD program is a single-day activity, so it is ideal for those interested in trying scuba but lacking spare time. Consider this your first step in discovering the amazingly gorgeous underwater water while getting acquainted with the equipment and techniques that make it possible. The PADI DSD program typically involves a detailed briefing on the effects of water pressure, underwater communication, equipment use, and diving safety. Then, you’re ready to go!

During PADI Discover Scuba Diving, you achieve mastery of an Open Water Dive (1 Dive) from the PADI Open Water Diver course. This counts as a credit towards your Open Water Diver certification. You will be issued a DSD certificate book by us which is recognized by all PADI Dive centers across the world and can be used to do your Open Water certification within the next 6 months.
