Most PADI dive shops offer a version of this program, either in a pool or other body of water. You might try it close to home or while you are on vacation. While not an actual scuba certification, during the Discover Scuba Diving experience you will 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, after all, human beings were not designed to do that, but after a few minutes of awestruck wonder, most participants realize how easy scuba diving really is. The biggest challenge instructors have with the Discover Scuba Diving program is not coaxing participants into the water, but coaxing them out when the program is over. The fun part? It is all fun!
