Ready to try scuba diving?

Have you ever dreamed of trying scuba diving and breathing underwater? Swimming with giant manta rays off Socorro Island Mexico, or exploring beautiful wooden shipwrecks, giant coral gardens, caverns or caves? Maybe you haven’t thought about where you want to dive, but something is telling you to try scuba diving.

We know that scuba diving is the most exciting sport in the world, but don’t take our word for it, give it a try.

Scuba diving is amazing activity you can do anywhere in the world, not just on a tropical vacation.  It offers you so many different types of environments and experiences that it is quite easily a life long sport that people engage in year round.

Discover Scuba Diving is an experience building program that gives you a little taste of what its like to swim and breath underwater. Discover Scuba is a good opportunity for prospective divers to experience the sensational world of scuba diving and see if you want to take the step to become a fully certified PADI Open Water Diver.

Taking your first breath underwater is something you will never forget. Take your PADI Discover Scuba Diving Course in Ontario, Canada with Dan’s Dive Shop!

What will you learn?

In this program you’ll start at home by learning basic scuba theory online. From there you will meet your Divemaster at the pool and learn how to assemble and use the basic scuba diving equipment, as well as learning what wearing scuba equipment feels like and how easy it is to move around underwater on scuba.

In the pool your Divemaster will teach you what it’s like to breathe underwater and how to be comfortable and safe.

You will also learn some of the basic (and most important) scuba diving skills underwater. The skills and safety rules taught in Discover Scuba Diving will carry over to your full scuba certification course when you take the next step, which is the Open Water Diver Course.

Finally you will have time to play in the pool on scuba. It’s fun, low stress and high energy.  Sign up today.
