# Experience Scuba Diving / NO certification Needed

**Guidekin's take:** A first scuba experience on the reefs off Rincón under an instructor's direct supervision, gear included, no certificate given or required. They need your shoe and vest sizes in advance, and you cannot fly for a day after diving. 4.61 from 111 reviews at €90 per person.

## Overview

Discovery Scuba Diving is a combination of scuba diving in which an uncertified diver tries scuba diving under the direct supervision of a PADI or SDI instructor. This is a experience program only and no no certification is given.

After the learning part your instructor, who is experienced and knowledgeable with the local coral reefs, helps and guides you through the beautiful coral reefs of Rincon PR so you can get the most from your scuba adventure.

IMPORTANT NOTE: NO FLY TIME OF 12HRS AFTER END OF DIVE so book accordingly.
