This experience will be like snorkeling but on steroids! If you like to snorkel this introduction to scuba diving is the perfect next step to explore the underwater world. You will learn the basics of diving from your knowledgeable instructors who will lead you on a guided tour of St. Andrew's State Park or a local fresh water spring if Gulf conditions are unfavorable. This is a great class for people comfortable in the water that want to explore a little deeper.

Meeting and pickup

Meeting point

We will meet at the dive shop to check in and get outfitted in scuba gear. Divers will then need to drive to the state Park. The divemaster will transport all of the tanks and gear to St Andrews State Park. Students will need to drive themselves to the park, which has an $8 entrance fee per vehicle.

End point
This activity ends back at the meeting point.

What to expect

The discover scuba class will give participants a brief introduction into the world of diving. Students will learn about the effects of diving on the body and how to use the gear before being led on a dive in confined water at the State Park. (Students must know how to swim). Before we start the class each student will be issued an eLearning account that delivers the academics curriculum in an easy to understand format that you can complete at your own pace. (40 minutes to an hour). This way your time with us is spend on physically learning the dive gear and in the water and not in a classroom.

Please note we are not the cheap quick version of trying scuba. We want this experience to be the gateway drug to a life addicted to scuba diving and underwater exploration.
