Discover Scuba

Offered on all Alpha programs

Want to dip your toe into the world of scuba diving without plunging into a full certification program? Our Discover Scuba (DSD) course is the perfect place to take your first underwater breaths. You'll learn diving safely and slowly as our expert staff demonstrates safety essentials and equipment use. Once you're comfortable with the basics, you'll start in waist-deep water off the beach, and then glide gradually into 20-30 feet of crystal-clear tropical water.  You'll then enjoy your first open water dives, supervised by our expert dive instructors.  DSD on Alpha includes basic instruction, and 1 supervised open water dive.  Learn more about Discover Scuba
