Discover Scuba Diving

Discover Scuba is a one-day introduction to scuba diving — no certification required, no prior experience needed. By the end of the day you'll have completed a pool session with an instructor and two shallow coral reef dives in the Florida Keys.

‍

‍What's Included

Everything. All scuba gear, mask, fins, snorkel, the morning pool session, and both afternoon reef dives — taxes included. Bring a swimsuit and a towel. That's it.

Thinking About Getting Certified?

Discover Scuba is not a certification, but it counts. If you decide you want to continue — and most people do — the time and cost of your Discover Scuba course applies directly toward the PADI Open Water certification, reducing what's left to complete.

After purchase, we'll send a confirmation email with instructions for scheduling your session.

The morning starts at IDC's on-site pool, where your instructor walks you through the basics: how to breathe underwater, how to use the equipment, and the fundamental skills you'll need before heading offshore. Most students are comfortable in the water within the first hour.

After a lunch break, you'll return to the dive shop to check in for the afternoon boat trip. The rest of the day is spent on the reef — two dive locations, your instructor in the water with you the entire time.

• 7:30 a.m. – Paperwork and Instructor meet & greet in the shop
• 8:00 a.m. – Head to the ON-SITE pool for pool session
• 10:30 a.m.-11:00 a.m. – break for lunch
• 12:00 p.m. – Check in at dive shop for afternoon boat dives
• 12:30 p.m. – 4:00 p.m. – Two location dive trip with instructor
