Discover Scuba Diving in Orlando lets you experience breathing underwater without a full certification course. A certified PADI professional guides you through safety basics before an open-water dive session. Choose between De Leon Springs (family-friendly, easier equipment access) or Blue Spring State Park (better suited for couples and adult groups). No prior scuba experience is required, though guests should be comfortable in water. All necessary safety and dive equipment is included.
Your scuba adventure begins at 8:00 AM at the confirmed dive location, where you'll meet your instructor and get introduced to the experience.
First, you'll be fitted with the equipment you'll use for the day, including your wetsuit, BCD, mask, snorkel, and scuba equipment. You'll also complete the required paperwork and review the knowledge needed before entering the water.
Before your experience, every participant must complete the required PADI Discover Scuba Diving eLearning, medical questionnaire, and waiver. These steps are mandatory and must be completed before you can participate in the water portion of the experience.
Once you're geared up, you'll make your way to the water. At one of the submitted locations, this may involve walking approximately 600 meters while carrying your scuba equipment. If you'd prefer a less strenuous setup, the provider offers a more family-friendly spring location with easier access and less equipment to carry.
You'll begin in shallow water where you can stand comfortably. Your instructor will help you get used to breathing through the regulator before teaching basic scuba skills such as mask clearing, equalization, and buoyancy control.
Once you're comfortable and your instructor is satisfied that you're ready, it's time to dive. You'll head underwater with your PADI professional and experience what scuba diving is like in one of Central Florida's freshwater springs.
