Discover the Underwater World at Your Own Pace
If you're curious about scuba diving but aren't ready to commit to a full certification course, the Discover Scuba Diving experience is the perfect introduction. Over three relaxed hours, you will learn basic safety guidelines and underwater breathing techniques under the patient supervision of Robert Bauer.
We start in very shallow, calm water where you can comfortably stand up. Once you feel at ease breathing through your regulator and clearing your mask, your instructor takes you on a guided tour across the spring basin to see freshwater fish, turtles, and underwater caverns.
Sessions start at $185 to $215 (+ 6% tax/fees) with all diving equipment included. Participants must be at least 10 years old and complete a standard medical questionnaire.
