If you want to Try Diving, but aren’t quite ready to take the plunge into a certification course, then the PADI Discover Scuba Diving experience is the one for you.
What's more if you book onto our PADI Open Water Course within 1 month of doing this experience we will refund £25 against the Open Water Course.

PADI Discover Scuba Diving

The Discover Scuba Diving experience is undertaken in our heated pool Nr Chichester, West Sussex and takes around 45min.
Whilst not a scuba certification, Discover Scuba Diving is a quick and easy introduction to what it takes to become an explorer of the underwater world. To sign up for a PADI Discover Scuba Diving experience, you must be at least 10 years old. No prior experience with scuba diving is necessary, but you need to be in reasonable physical health and be comfortable in the water.

During the Discover Scuba Diving experience you learn the basic safety guidelines and skills needed to dive, under the direct supervision of a qualified PADI Professional.

You will:

  • Go over the scuba equipment you use to dive.
  • Find out what it’s like to breathe underwater.
  • Learn key skills that you’ll use during every scuba dive.

Keeping you safe...

Our first consideration as always is your safety, in an effort to ensure this all our training will be undertaken in line with the industry best standards.

  • Out training group sizes will be strictly limited to 4 students and two PADI professionals.
  • All equipment will be washed, sterilised between uses and stored in a well ventilated area for at least 36hrs before re-use.
  • If you are undertaking a course that takes more than one session your equipment will be issued to you at the start of the course and you will be asked to keep it and care for it between sessions, thus eliminating any chance of cross infection.
  • Unfortunately numbers in our pool facility and at dive sites are strictly limited at this time to allow for social distancing therefore may not be possible to allow spectators.
  • All students will be expected to observe social distancing, unless from the same cohort.
  • Divers are asked NOT to clear masks by spitting, anti fog will be supplied free of charge at out sanitising station.
  • All entry level courses booked after the 18th of April include a brand new diving mask and where required snorkel for you to keep again ensuring you are the only person using your equipment.
