About this tour, from the operator

Your Discover Diving Course does not require a certification. You will be educated about SCUBA in a classroom followed by learning how to use the gear and some important diving skills in shallow water with a qualified instructor. You then can either complete a full SCUBA dive in the bay or choose to go out on our boat to 2 dive locations in our beautiful Caribbean sea.

Please note: DSD (Discover SCUBA Diving) Boat Dives require successful completion of a DSD experience in our bay with one of our SCUBA Instructors!
