The PADI Discover Scuba pathway

PADI Discover Scuba Diving is a non-certification experience that starts with a quick safety orientation. If you continue, the skills can credit toward your PADI Open Water Diver certification.

Where you'll dive in Cancun Cozumel

Discover Scuba runs on the calmest, shallowest sites: Cozumel's Paradise and Cielo reefs (under 12 m) and, from Cancún, the shallow MUSA Underwater Museum with its sculpture gardens and nearby Manchones Reef. Warm, clear water and minimal current keep first breaths relaxed.
