Have you always wondered what it would like to be able to breath underwater, but are you not ready to commit to a full Learn to Dive Course? Then Diving Adelaide’s PADI Discover Scuba Diving program is exactly what you’re looking for!

Start your scuba diving adventures today with the friendly and professional PADI diving instructors of Diving Adelaide!

During the Discover Scuba Diving program you will get a taste of what scuba diving is all about. Our experienced dive team will explain the basics of scuba diving to you and will set up the scuba diving equipment for you.
We know that your experience will very much depend on how comfortable you are during your dive, which is why we have one of our professional instructors stay very close to you during the whole experience.

We conduct all our Discover Scuba Dives on Fridays from 5.30 PM to 9.00 PM. We can stop the program before 10PM if you would like to make the experience a little shorter.

The Discover Scuba Diving schedule in short:
Theory Session (1 hour): Discover Scuba Diving Theory Session
Dive Day (Friday) 5:30 PM – 9:00PM: Theory Session (if not done beforehand) + Try Dive

What you need to know before you start the course:
– Besides the theory, you have to fill out a medical questionnaire before you start the course to check whether you are fit to dive (see below for more information)
– You need to be able to swim 200 metres continuously.
– You need to be able to float or tred water for 10 minutes.
– All equipment is included in the experience (Buoyancy vest, regulators, gauges, filled cylinders, weightbelts plus weights, wetsuit, mask, snorkel and fins)
– A minimum age of 12 years applies. Every student under the age of 18 needs to have a parent or a guardian sign a consent form (available from the dive centre).

• Please make sure that you fill out our online Dive Medical Questionnaire before the experience, which will tell you whether you are fit to dive or whether you need to get a dive medical done by a diving doctor. If you need to see a doctor, please make sure that you do so before the experience.

Also please make sure that you have had something to eat before the experience, as the Discover Scuba Diving program takes a few hours.

Friday Day 5:30 PM – 9:00PM: Theory Session + Pool Dive

We meet at the dive centre at 5:30 PM and start with fitting you in a wetsuit and the rest of the gear! After we have packed all the gear, we either refresh the theory (if you have already done the theory part on another day), or we go through all the theory with you, which takes approximately 30 to 60 minutes. We then pack everything up and head to the pool for the experience. At the pool we assemble the gear for you and show you how to use the equipment. Of course we first familiarise you with the equipment on land, before we will use it in the water. We will then hit the water, where we have to practise a few safety and a couple of practical skills with you to make you supercomfortable in the water.

Things to bring:

• A full stomach and something to drink. As the experience runs until about 10:00PM, make sure that you have had some food and bring a bottle of water or something else to drink.

• Swimmers and a Towel We provide all the equipment, but these you need to bring yourself!
