PADI Discover Scuba Diving is an introductory program to Scuba diving which allows people to go beyond a mere initiation. It represents an integral part of the PADI Open Water and provides a credit usable for that course.
The program takes place in a protected environment (under the same conditions as a swimming pool) at a maximum depth of 6 meters. It allows you to learn the basic principles of diving, especially concerning safety and equipment. You cover the techniques of breathing and buoyancy under water. You practice mask clearing and regulator recovery as well as underwater signs.
After accomplishing the required tasks, you are issued a Discover Scuba Diver Certificate. You can receive a credit to continue your training as a diver and sign up for the PADI Scuba Diver course or directly for the PADI Open Water course.
