What to expect

Discover the underwater world of Aruba with this beginner friendly, private scuba diving experience. The Scuba Discovery program is perfect for first time divers and participants who are not certified. No previous diving experience is required and your instructor will guide you step by step.

Your experience begins with a safety briefing on land, which takes about 20 minutes. We explain the dive plan, how the equipment works, and important safety guidelines.

After the briefing it is time to enter shallow water to practice and get comfortable with the equipment. You will complete a few simple exercises before the dive.

Once everyone is comfortable, we head out for the real dive to a maximum depth of 40 feet (12 meters). During the dive you may see coral reef, tropical fish, and depending on the dive site possibly turtles or a shipwreck.

Dive sites are selected based on the best ocean conditions of the day. Guests with their own transportation can coordinate the dive site with their instructor. For guests using our pickup service, the instructor will select the most suitable location.
