What is Discover Scuba Diving?

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to breathe underwater, but you don’t yet have a scuba certification? Maybe you have always wanted to see corals, fish, and turtles up close in their natural habitat?

This is your chance to try out scuba diving without the commitment and time frame of the full scuba certification course.

Our Discover Scuba Diving Program is a day-long adventure in learning the ins and outs of diving. Our wonderful PADI Professionals will make sure you feel safe and comfortable the whole time, while still making it a fun and memorable experience.

What you can expect

After the necessary paperwork is sorted out at the shop, your course will kick off at the pool. You will go over all the scuba equipment, hand signals, and other skills used throughout your dive. In the pool, you will be practicing using these in a shallow water setting where you can get a feel for what it’s like to move around underwater with your gear. This all will be followed by an open water dive at the beautiful and lively Mudjimba Island!

On departure to Mudjimba Island, our trained crew will provide a thorough briefing about diving this site, and will answer any questions you may have about it. Once the boat exits the calm waters of the Mooloolaba River system, it is around a 15 minute ride to Mudjimba Island. The vessel will be moored and our crew will help you set up to get in the water.

Your 2 dives are planned to last for up to 50 minutes or until you’ve breathed through your tank of air (whichever one comes first). That’s just under 2 hours underwater!

On the boat, you are provided snacks and water. Feel free to bring along your own snacks if you have allergies or would like more substantial food.
