This Discover Scuba Diving (DSD) experience provides a safe, quick and easy introduction to exploring our beautiful tropical reefs, all while under the direct supervision and guidance of a PADI Instructor.
During your morning pool session, feel how easy it is to swim around freely underwater and learn the basic skills & safety rules in a pool or shallow confined water setting.
