Discover Scuba Diving
The PADI Discover Scuba Diving (DSD) is a short try-diving experience for adults and children aged 10+. This course introduces you to the basics of scuba diving without certifying you as a diver. The DSD program is a single-day activity, so is ideal for those interested in trying scuba, but lacking spare time.
The PADI DSD program typically involves a detailed briefing on the effects of water pressure, underwater communication, equipment use, and diving safety. Then, you’re ready to go!
The first session involves confined water practice in a swimming pool or pool-like area. During this time, candidates get to grips with breathing through a regulator and swimming efficiently in diving gear. You’ll also be shown a few simple skills from the Open Water Diver course.
When you’re ready, the second session involves an open water dive. This will take place at an easy, shallow ocean dive site – this is what it’s all about, after all!
During the DSD program, you will become familiar with the use of basic scuba gear including a mask, snorkel, fins, regulator, buoyancy control device (BCD), dive gauges, and a scuba tank. You will also receive information about how to become part of the PADI community upon completion of the program. Most importantly, you will build the self-confidence required to fully immerse yourself in the diving world through the PADI Open Water Diver Course
During your PADI Discover Scuba Diving trip in red sea , you'll:
- Master basic scuba diving principles like equipment usage, underwater communication, and buoyancy control.
- Gain confidence and comfort breathing underwater in a pool environment or calm water environment.
- Discover the thrill of weightlessness and marvel at the breathtaking coral reefs and diverse fish species.
- Receive personalized guidance from our experienced instructors, ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience.

We had such a good dive! Our guide was very kind and patient. My friend and I have been diving before, but he still gave us a very good run down of everything. Even though we have been diving before it still takes a bit of time to get used to all the equipment.
