Discover Scuba Diving at TARP

Discover Scuba Diving at TARP

For first-timers, the Introductory Dive, also referred to as a “Discover Dive“, is the ideal choice. It provides you with the opportunity to get into the water, feel the sensation of diving, and possibly encounter marine life, all under the careful supervision of an instructor.

However, it’s essential to note that a Discover Scuba Diving session doesn’t grant you certification for future diving endeavors. It’s a one-time experience designed to help you determine if you enjoy diving and if your schedule allows for longer commitments. To take part in an “Introductory Dive,” you must still demonstrate proficiency in a few basic skills and review some essential concepts. The dive typically commences with a thorough briefing either on board a vessel or close to a swimming pool.
