Try Scuba

The SSI Try Scuba program is your introduction to the underwater world. This entry-level program provides you the opportunity to experience the underwater world. There is no need to sign up for a more in-depth course to see if diving is right for you.

Not sure if diving is for you? Enroll in our Try Scuba class and find out!

In our Try Scuba class, you’ll start off with an academic training session with your Instructor. This is where you will meet your instructor and learn more about the rules of scuba diving, and an introduction to your equipment. Your in-water session will begin with you in shallow water, simply breathing air from your tank. You’ll be given the opportunity to move into deeper water as you become more comfortable.  This allows you to enter the underwater world at a pace you are comfortable with. If you and your instructor are comfortable, you may be offered the opportunity to venture into slightly deeper water (max 15ft), where you have a chance to meet sunfish, catfish, and even Paddlefish! (Additional $20 per person.) (Approximately 60 minutes total.)
