Weightless and Wide-Eyed: Discover Scuba Diving in Puerto Rico
A focused, three-hour PADI Discover Scuba experience with Blue Water Diving that teaches core skills in controlled conditions and can lead to credit toward full certification.
Weightless and Wide-Eyed: Discover Scuba Diving in Puerto Rico.
Offered as a short, intensive introduction to breathing and moving underwater, the PADI Discover Scuba/Discover Scuba Diving program places novices under the eye of a PADI Instructor to practice core skills in pool or pool‑like conditions and — when conditions and instructor approval allow — to continue into an open‑water sea dive.
