| The purpose of the Discover Scuba experience is to introduce to the nondiving
public to diving in a safe, controlled, enjoyable session and to dispell myths about diving. Discover Scuba
provides non divers with an opportunity to actually scuba dive in the safe confines of a swimming pool.
The experience presents diving in a pleasant and exciting way. By instilling feelings of comfort and safety,
and a sense of belonging, Discover Scuba helps overcome the common misconceptions held about scuba diving. |
