*Discover Scuba
with Aquatic Adventures Ohio
The Discover Scuba Program is a one-time Scuba “Immersion Experience” that allows anyone who is interested in scuba diving to try it in a less-intimidating swimming pool setting without initially committing to a full certification course. Taught by a qualified instructor or divemaster, this introductory course consists of a short academic session paired with hands-on pool time during which the student is introduced to scuba skills, including practicing underwater breathing using scuba apparatus. Students must pre-register one week prior to the date of their chosen section to allow time to receive and complete the required medical/liability form. Depending on answers to the information detailed on the form, students may need to obtain a physician's statement before participating. Students need to bring a swimsuit, towel and their completed medical/liability form (with physician statement if needed). Arrive 30 minutes early to allow for equipment fitting. Twenty dollars of this course fee may be credited toward the Open Water certification course if the student enrolls within one month of completing this initial one-time training.
