What To Expect
The Discover Scuba Diving (DSD) program is perfect for first time divers or participants who are not certified divers. First all participants will receive a full 20 minute safety instruction on land. We’ll talk about the dive plan, how the equipment works, marine life and more. Then its time to practice and get comfortable in shallow water. This involves some exercises. Once all participants (max 4) are comfortable with their equipment its time for a real dive to a maximum depth of 40 feet. You’ll see lots of marine life, coral reef and even a shipwreck on our usual DSD divesite.

5.00Our experience was a 10000/10! We would absolutely do this again and would recommend our guide, Pauline, to anyone. She provided pick up and drop off service at our hotel and took us to the dive spot. We spent some time reviewing safety procedures and getting acquainted with the equipment on land. Then we headed into shallow waters to beginning practicing the water portion. With Pauline’s expertise and guidance, our nerves quickly melted and we felt so incredibly comfortable and at ease as we made our way to deeper waters. The shipwreck and sea life were unbelievable to see, but we felt so safe the entire time. As Pauline said, “40 minutes of our life were spent 40 feet under water.” How cool is that! Don’t miss this experience - it’s a must do in Aruba!
Great!

5.00Alan was amazing and patient with us. Super awesome guy! Only one thing he didn’t provide us with boots and my husband got blisters on his toes from the flippers and ruined our 20 year vow renewal ceremony plans of barefoot on the beach. 😭 His toes are too wrecked to be barefooted on the beach.
Small group dive

5.00THIS WAS THE BEST EXCURSION ON MY ENTIRE VACAY!!!! I will highly recommend this to anyone who is thinking about going for a padi or just curious about scuba. I can not stop talking about this scuba adventure. Alan, was absolutely incredible- teaching me everything I need to know and was so patient. He knows so much about scuba and the sea which made me feel even more comfortable. I wouldn’t want to have my first scuba experience with anyone else, I feel like I was so lucky to be there and have him! He took me to see a shipwreck, and explored all down the sea. When coming up from the dive my first words: that was so sick and I want to go again. I cannot say anything but amazing things about this diving experience and the photos and video was def an added touch! :) I am now, def keeping my license and cannot wait to scuba again :)
First time proper diving. Totally gonna get into it

5.00I was PADI certified in 1981 but hadn’t dove since 1983 and my 33 year old son-in-law had never dove before. Our instructor, Alan, did a great job of teaching us and making us feel comfortable with the equipment. Alan helped us to work through any struggles that we had and guided us on a wonderful dive to a sunken boat and some very nice fish in the coral. I have put Alan number into my phone so that we can contact him agin on our next trip!
Perfect Introduction

5.00This excursion was a perfect intro to scuba diving for a nervous first-timer! Alan was so patient and he wants people to go at a pace they feel comfortable with. He handles all the guess work so all you have to do is relax and enjoy the experience.
