Discover SCUBA with Kathy's Scuba
   

SCUBA:  Self-Contained-Underwater-Breathing-Apparatus

 

A Discover Scuba Experience is an easy way for you, your family and friends to try scuba diving in a pool to see if you like it.  This will let you discover how exciting and different scuba diving is from anything else you have ever done.  SCUBA is fun, it's easy and it's safe.  You'll love it!


When you come to a Discover Scuba you will complete the required paperwork, watch a short video presentation and be fitted into equipment.  Then it's into the pool with one of our certified instructors to learn the basics and you'll be scuba diving before you know it.


Discover Scuba Experiences are usually held during our regular open water classes.  Participants must be at least 10 years of age (under 18 must have signed parental consent).

 

If your group or club would like to arrange a private Discover Scuba Experience please contact Kathy's Scuba.
