PADI Discover Scuba Diving

Have you ever wondered what it's like to breathe underwater? If you want to find out but aren't quite ready to take the plunge into a full scuba certification course, our Discover Scuba Diving program will let you try scuba to see if you like it.  

St. Croix Ultimate Bluewater Adventures (SCUBA) offers
Discover Scuba Diving sessions every day of the year.

Typical schedule:
   9:00am - 10:00am Confined Water Training.
    In water shallow enough to stand up anytime.

   10:00pm - 12:00pm Pier/Reef Dive
   (Add another one-tank dive for just $35 more and       
   another hour and a half.

Almost any other schedule is available, just let us know what works for you.

While not an actual scuba certification, during the Discover Scuba Diving experience you'll learn how to use scuba equipment in shallow water and get a quick and easy introduction to what it takes to explore the underwater world.

The Fun Part

There is nothing like breathing underwater for the very first time. It takes a little getting used to but after a few minutes of awestruck wonder, most participants realize how easy scuba diving really is.

The biggest challenge for us is coaxing Discover Scuba Diving participants out of the water when the program is over.

The fun part? It's all fun!
