Discover Scuba Diving (DSD) program
Discover Scuba Diving is a try-diving experience. This program allows you to explore the underwater world under guidance of our instructors. You will learn how to use dive equipment, hand signals and perform basic scuba skills.
eLearning
You can start this experience at home on your own device. Sign up for the eLearning and learn more about the key concepts of diving, safety procedures and how to interact best with aquatic life. It will take approximately 20 to 30 minutes to complete the eLearning.
in-water training
After finishing the eLearning we will schedule a morning or afternoon together and you will be in the water soon. What to expect after completing the eLearning? We will meet at the dive shop, fit the scuba gear and take a moment to explain all the pieces of equipment you will be using during the dive. There is plenty of time to answer your dive related questions before you will be taking your first breaths underwater.
We go briefly over the dive skills which you will practice with us in shallow waters. This is the moment Your World is About to Get Bigger! Because after completing the skills, we start diving together and we take you out on a tour along the reefs. Are you ready to dive in?
During the Discover Scuba Dive, we pay very detailed attention to you and we will have enough time to get you comfortable by being underwater and let you experience the reefs of Bonaire at a slow pace. Our diving time will be somewhere around 45 minutes, depending on the air we will use and how excited you are by being underwater.
What’s next?
