Description

Have you always wondered what it’s like to breathe underwater? If you want to try scuba diving, but aren’t quite ready to take the plunge into a certification course, Try Scuba Diving is for you. PADI dive shops offer this program in a pool so you can try scuba close to home or while you’re on vacation at a dive destination. While not a scuba certification course, Try Scuba Diving is a quick and easy introduction to what it takes to explore the underwater world. To sign up for a Try Scuba Diving experience, you must be at least 10 years old. No prior experience with scuba diving is necessary, but you need to be in reasonable physical health. Are you ready to try it out?
