Have you always wondered what it’s like to breathe underwater? If you want to try scuba diving, but aren’t quite ready to take the plunge into a certification course, the PADI Padi Discover Scuba Diving Course is for you. PADI dive shops offer this program either in a pool, off a beach or from a dive boat. You can try scuba close to home or while you’re on vacation at a dive destination. While not a scuba certification course, Discover Scuba Diving is a quick and easy introduction to what it takes to explore 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. Are you ready to try it out? Use the event locator to find and schedule a Discover Scuba Diving experience near you.

Academic

You learn the basic safety guidelines and skills needed to dive under the direct supervision of a PADI Professional. If you make an open water dive, you’ll practice a few more skills in shallow water to prepare for your adventure. Get ready to:

  • Go over the scuba equipment you use to dive and how easy it is to move around underwater with your gear.
  • Find out what it’s like to breathe underwater.
  • Learn key skills that you’ll use during every scuba dive.
  • Have fun swimming around and exploring.
  • Hear about becoming a certified diver through the PADI Open Water Diver course.

You may be able to get college credit for the Search and Recovery course – ask your instructor.


Also, the first dive of this PADI Specialty Diver course may credit as an Adventure Dive toward your Advanced Open Water Diver certification – ask your instructor about earning credit.

Equipment

Your PADI Pro will likely provide all the basic scuba gear you’ll use including a mask, snorkel, fins, regulator, buoyancy control device, dive gauges and a tank.

Visit your local PADI Dive Center or Resort to learn more about the gear you will need to start your adventures in Discover Scuba Diving.

Getting Started

Contact your local PADI Dive Center or Resort to sign up for a Discover Scuba Diving program and get a Discover Scuba Diving Participant Guide. Your Participant Guide explains the experience and lets you pre-study the safety rules and skill techniques your dive professional will review with you. You’ll also learn about opportunities to become part of the scuba community after you complete your underwater experience.

You’re going to enjoy the service at Neptune’s Cove! We appreciate the opportunity to help you design your Belizean Adventure! You are going to have such an amazing time here in Ambergris Caye! Neptune’s Cove is a full service PADI Dive Shop specializing in daily diving, SCUBA instruction, snorkeling, fishing and inland tours. We offer many services for our guests to make their stay a lot easier and smoother. We also help with reservations, flights, golf carts rentals and choosing the best local restaurants in town.

We prefer merely small groups for all of our tours. Our diving is done on the largest barrier reef in the western hemisphere, the beauty of our reef is unrivaled. For the local dives we take groups of 6 or less and 4 max for instruction. This gives us the lowest ratios on the island.

After a half day of fishing our guests are eager to eat what they have caught, so our team has a list of local restaurants that can cook the catch of day for small fees.

In the mainland you can go on adventures like exploring the Maya temples, cave tubing, and hiking our jungles. The jungles in the mainland are full of flora and fauna which are waiting to be explored.

On our site are some of the resorts we recommend, ranging from hostels to 5 stars. Some are within walking distance from the shop and some aren’t. We offer complimentary transportation to and from our shop for guests staying within town limits. For guests staying far away from us, we have golf carts available for renting to make their transportation easier.

We have also received the Trip Advisor Certificate of Excellence in 2017 and 2018. Click here to have the time of your life!
