The PADI Discover Scuba Diving experience (often referred to as a DSD) is a chance to try diving without committing to a full certification course. It’s an opportunity to try scuba diving to see if you enjoy it – or simply to tick it off your bucket list. Many divers start with the Discover Scuba Diving experience, fall in love with the underwater world, and go on to become certified divers! When people are considering taking a DSD, they often have a lot of questions that they would like answered before making the decision to go ahead.
How deep will I go underwater?
First of all, it’s important to know that you will not go any deeper than you feel comfortable with. The maximum depth for a Discover Scuba Diving experience is 6 meters (20 feet) for the initial pool session and 12 meters (40 feet) if you do the optional open water dive, but that does not mean you have to go that deep.
What happens on a DSD?
Signing Up: Your DSD will begin with a little bit of paperwork.
Theory: Once you have filled in the relevant forms, your Instructor will conduct a short theory session with you. During this theory session, you will learn about the basics of diving, including the physics and physiology of diving, the underwater environment, communication, and the equipment you will be using. If you complete the DSD eLearning beforehand, then this session is more of a quick review with your instructor.
Confined Water: This part of your DSD may be conducted in a swimming pool, or in a body of water that offers pool-like conditions. Your instructor will demonstrate some underwater skills that will keep you comfortable and safe before asking you to try them yourself. At a minimum, you’ll learn how to breath underwater properly and then how to inflate and deflate your BCD (Buoyancy Control Device). Your instructor may also add some other skills for you to practice depending on how the experience is set up. For example, if you are planning to do the optional open water dive, then you will also need to learn and practice how to clear any water out of your mask in the event that it leaks, how to recover and clear your regulator that you are breathing from, in case it is accidentally dislodged from your mouth, and how to equalize your ears to take into account the increased water pressure as you descend underwater. You’ll also learn how to enter and exit the water and what to do in the unlikely event of an emergency. Once you have completed the skills, you’ll be able to enjoy swimming around and feeling weightless underwater! Your instructor may also combine this with some underwater games – anyone for underwater frisbee?
Optional Open Water Dive: This is a chance to venture out into the ocean and see the local marine life! You’ll dive to a maximum depth of 12 meters (40 feet) and your instructor will be by your side from start to finish.
Are there any age limits?
To take the PADI Discover Scuba Diving experience, participants must be at least 10 years old. There is no upper age limit.
