​Have you ever wondered what it's like to breathe underwater?

​If you want to find out but aren't quite ready to take the plunge into a certification course, Discover Scuba Diving will let you try scuba to see if you like it.  J&T DIVE SHOP offers a version of this program. While not an actual scuba certification, during the Discover Scuba Diving experience you'll learn how to use scuba equipment in shallow water and get a quick and easy introduction to what it takes to explore the underwater world.

The Fun Part
There is nothing like breathing underwater for the very first time. It takes a little getting used to but after a few minutes of awestruck wonder, most participants realize how easy scuba diving really is. The biggest challenge for J&T DIVE SHOP is coaxing Discover Scuba Diving participants out of the water when the program is over. The fun part? It's all fun! Plus, you can get credit! If your Discover Scuba Diving program includes an actual scuba dive in open water, your experience may count toward PADI Scuba Diver or Open Water Diver certification, putting you a step ahead of the game when you decide to go for it.

What You Learn

  • You learn the basics you need to dive under the direct supervision of a PADI Professional.
  • One thing you'll learn is that you really can breathe underwater and whether you like doing that or not.
  • You will learn what wearing scuba equipment feels like and how easy it is to move around underwater while wearing it.
  • Find out what it's like to breathe underwater and learn whether you can be comfortable there.

The Scuba Gear You Use
All the equipment you will need is included in a Discover Scuba Diving experience. You'll use all the basic scuba gear including a mask and snorkel, fins, a wetsuit, a buoyancy compensating jacket (BCD) that carries your weights and scuba tank, a scuba regulator to breathe from and instrumentation to monitor depth and air supply. 

The Learning Materials You Need To Bring
Just your willingness, undivided attention, and a swimsuit.

Prerequisites
To participate in the Discover Scuba Diving program you must be at least 10 years old or be a member of a swim team. If you are unsure if your child is able to participate please contact Coach Anna Lawhon @ 870-809-1423.
