    What To Expect

    DSD or Discover Scuba Diving is as program from PADI (Professional Association of Diving Instructors), the world’s leading scuba diving training organization. It enables individuals who are interested in scuba diving to experience how it feels to dive by carrying out some fundamental training, and completing a number of dives within close and direct supervision from dive professionals. This is not an actual scuba certification; it serves as a quick taster of what it is to dive in the Open Water. This program usually lasts 3-4 hours. We will watch 20 minutes video , read the PADI program book take a quiz . You will get the Certificate of Completion. We will do some skills in shallow water and then we will dive in Mangel Halto Reef.
