or first time diver courses / beginner diver experience with Oahu
Diving. The PADI Discover Scuba Diving program lets the non-diver experience the thrill and adventure of scuba diving under the supervision of a PADI Instructor in ideal conditions. During your
Hawaiian adventure, you'll master some basic concepts and scuba diving skills before heading off on an open water dive
aboard a lovely catamaran
dive boat or the fast moving dive boat the Nori-Z.
No experience needed- We will thoroughly go over dive basics using the PADI Discover SCUBA Program. Dives are conducted at certified diver locations off a
catamaran boat with easy step down entry- not shallow beach dives. We take our
First Time Divers down 2 times, not one time off of a beach or unstable boats like our competitors ! 40 minute bottom times ! (of course everyone will be different due to breathing styles, body sizes and health
habits) Enjoy a half day with two dives off one of our beautiful dive boat and explore the beauty of the Pacific Ocean. The Discover Scuba Diving experience is a great way to get a head start on your PADI Scuba Diver or Open Water Diver certification.
