Typical Adventure Dive Day...

Our team of experienced PADI America's and NAUI professionally trained and certified Instructors & Divemasters provide the training to understand everything you need tohave a comfortable safe and fun dive adventure. Please keep in mind this is just one discovery dive and does not mean you will be certified to dive.

Scuba Lessons, Inc. has an online store for all your scbua gear too. For this program you are not required to provide any gear, however you may wish to purchase your own personal mask, fins, snorkel and boots which can also be found as a very affordable package in the online store.

Discovery dive includes a group video of the experience which will be posted online and you will be e-mailed a link to download this video within 3 days after your dive. We will also leave this video link accessible for you to download, share on facebook, tweet or u-tube for up to 3 months.

You will spend about 45 minutes to 1 hour going through the basic training session first then we will do a fun adventure dive based on your choice of above locations. This will include:

Safety "rules" of diving (no breath holding, air consumption, buddys, etc.)
Basic pressure and boyles law science (simple)
Basic equipment overview (what is what and what does it do)
How to breath, clear, purge, remove and replace your regulator
How to read your guages (ecspecially the air guage)
How to "equalize" your ears to prevent any discomfort
How to clear any water from your mask while your underwater
Basic bouyancy and BCD (that vest divers wear) use

Then we are going to do the actual "adventure dive" we will film the experience from your training all the way to your dive and any cool life that show up for a visit while were down. An Instructor will lead the dive and you will have one to two divemasters following all of the divers in the group from the rear. We will swim in buddy pairs one after another behind the leader. Be sure to listen for clinking sounds as that is the instructor showing you something cool! You may bring your own underwater camera if you have one for this experience. The dive it self will last between 20 and 40 minutes.

After the dive we will go over a few more "safety rules" such as not boarding an airplane for 24 hours after your dive.
