Discover Scuba Diving Experience

The perfect way to start diving, Discover Scuba® Diving.

We offer a beginner scuba pool lesson at Fiji Hideaway Resort every day (except Sunday) at 12 pm with one of our PADI dive instructors or PADI DSD Leaders.

Discover Scuba Diving at Diveaway Fiji.

When you have discovered how easy and enjoyable it is, and are comfortable in the water, you can go for a dive. This is under the direct supervision of an instructor, and to a maximum depth of 12 metres/40ft.

The dive site is very protected and shallow, and has a phenomenal amount of things to see – beautiful hard and soft corals and lots of tropical fish. The dive leaves at 8am and 10am each day (except Sundays).

But don’t forget that if you want to go for a dive it has to be 24 hours before you fly so don’t leave it to the last day!

PADI Discover Scuba® Diving Experience

Have you ever wondered what it’s like to breathe underwater. If you want to find out but aren’t quite ready to take the plunge into a certification course, Discover Scuba Diving will let you try scuba to see if you like it. Diveaway Fiji offers a great tropical version of this program, either in the pool and then out in the ocean.

While not an actual scuba certification, during the Discover Scuba Diving experience you’ll learn how to use scuba equipment in shallow water and get a quick and easy introduction to what it takes to explore the underwater world.

The Fun Part

Discover Scuba Diving at Diveaway Fiji

There is nothing like breathing underwater for the very first time. It takes a little getting used to –after all, human beings weren’t designed to do that – but after a few minutes of awestruck wonder, most participants realize how easy scuba diving really is. The biggest challenge instructors have with the Discover Scuba Diving program is not coaxing participants into the water, but coaxing them out when the program is over. The fun part? It’s all fun!

Plus, you can get credit! If your Discover Scuba Diving program includes an actual scuba dive in open water, your experience may count toward PADI Scuba Diver or Open Water Diver certification, putting you a step ahead of the game when you decide to go for it.

What You Learn

You learn the basics you need to dive under the direct supervision of a PADI Professional. One thing you’ll learn is that you really can breathe underwater and whether you like doing that or not. You will:

Learn what wearing scuba equipment feels like and how easy it is to move around underwater while wearing it
Find out what it’s like to breathe underwater and learn whether you can be comfortable there
Learn some basic skills and safety rules that will carry over to your full scuba certification course when you take the next step
The Scuba Gear You Use

All the equipment you will need is typically included in a Discover Scuba Diving experience. You’ll use all the basic scuba gear including a mask , snorkel and fins, a buoyancy compensating jacket that also carries your scuba tank, a scuba regulator to breathe from and instrumentation to monitor depth and air supply. You might also wear a scuba wetsuit or a weight system depending on where you do your Discover Scuba Diving program.

Ask the dive shop where you plan to take your Discover Scuba Diving program about the scuba equipment you’ll use.
