Discover Scuba Diving - $170
-
1-day course
Let Sea Saba take you on your first dive!
What was once called a Resort Course is now known as Discover Scuba Diving. Sea Saba conducts many Discover Scuba Diving courses throughout the year with great success. One key to our success is the amount of time we spend with our guests. We first conduct a full lecture session that explains the equipment, basic physics, and physiology. The fun then begins with your instructor spending time with you in a confined water location, where you will become comfortable with the equipment and be taught a few skills to prepare you for your dive in the ocean. Your dive is done in the Saba Marine Park aboard one of our boats. Your instructor will give you a briefing before you begin your shallow, accompanied dive. Although Saba is famous for our deeper pinnacle dives, our shallower dives are also world class. You may see a turtle, eel, stingray, octopus, or even a passing reef shark among the colorful reefs you encounter. There is no official license issued for this course but you are allowed to continue diving shallow dives (40', 12m) under instructor supervision for up to 14 days. This course can also be rolled into an Open Water Scuba Diver course if you end up loving it (like we do).

Do your Open Water Dives with us!
And yet another option, the referral works beautifully if you want to begin a course at your local dive shop. Establishing a relationship with a dive shop in your local area is always a good idea--even if you only intend to 'dive in paradise'. Buying dive equipment from a local dealer will give you an outlet for future service. Many local dive shops are also sources for group or individual travel, offer social activities and offer advanced training to keep you active when you can't be in paradise. If you prefer to do your first dives in the tropics, just let your local dive shop know you want to do the 'first part' of an open water course: academic and pool work. This way, you come to the Caribbean with only the really fun part to do-- 4 open water dives (and it's nicer than cold and dark waters of the north!). Referrals can be easily accomplished. As a PADI International Resort, Sea Saba's instructors can complete referrals from all major agencies. Yes, you can be on the same boat as your already certified diving friends. You will need to be sure to have all documentation with you and advise us when making a reservation. Easy!
