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. You will be introduced to basic scuba diving equipment and will get to experience scuba diving for the first time! Learn what wearing scuba equipment feels like and how easy it is to move around underwater while wearing it. Virtually everyone who participates in a Seaview Scuba Discover Scuba Experience continues on to complete a PADI Open Water Scuba Diver certification! In many cases, this experience can count toward that certification, putting you a step ahead of the game when you decide to go for it.
The PADI Open Water Diver course is the world’s most popular scuba diving certification course.
You will breathe underwater for the first time (something you’ll never forget) and learn what you need to know to become a certified diver. You will learn all about basic scuba gear and standard accessories.
The fun part about this course is . . . well, just about all of it because learning to dive is incredible.
What you do:
•Knowledge Development (online or in our classroom ) to understand basic principles of scuba diving
•Confined Water Dives in the pool to learn basic scuba skills
•Open Water Dives to review your skills and explore our local marine environments like you've never seen before!
No, you don’t have to be “advanced” to take it – it’s designed so you can go straight into it after the PADI Open Water Diver course. The Advanced Open Water Scuba Diver course helps you increase your confidence and build your scuba skills so you can become more comfortable in the water. Go deep, find that lost light, or use that light on a night dive. The course consists of 5 dives, including a navigation workshop and a deep dive.
Why Advanced Open Water Diver?
After your five dives, you'll be more experienced, feel more comfortable in the water and simply enjoy diving more. Completion of this course will certify you for dives to a depth of 100 feet!
That's how we describe the PADI Rescue Diver course. In this certification course, you will build upon what you’ve already learned. Learn how to help yourself and your buddies by expanding on what you already know about how to prevent problems, and how to manage them if they occur.

•Self rescue
•Recognizing and managing stress in other divers
•Emergency management and equipment
•Rescuing panicked divers
•Rescuing unresponsive divers
The fun part about this course is rising to challenges and mastering them. Most divers agree that this course is both demanding and rewarding, and at the end, say it’s the best course they’ve ever taken.
Your adventure into the professional levels of recreational scuba diving begins with the PADI Divemaster program. You will work closely with a Seaview Scuba PADI Instructor to expand your dive knowledge and hone your skills to the professional level. PADI Divemaster training will develop your leadership abilities, and will qualify you to supervise dive activities and assist instructors with student divers. During the PADI Divemaster program, you will learn dive leadership skills through independent study and a Seaview Scuba internship. You will complete water skills and stamina exercises, as well as training exercises that stretch your ability to organize and solve problems. You will put this knowledge into action through a structured internship or series of practical training exercises.
PADI Divemaster is the prerequisite certification for PADI Open Water Scuba Instructor certification.

One of the first requests heard from newly certified divers is "when can we dive the u-boat?"
