Your first dive

Three simple steps to your first underwater adventure.

The Discover Scuba program is designed specifically for people who have never dived before. You will go through a short classroom session, practice in shallow water, and then do a real guided dive at the Pedernales wreck, one of Aruba's most famous beginner-friendly sites.

Step 01

Classroom briefing

Your instructor covers the basics of scuba: how the equipment works, underwater signals, equalization and what to expect on your dive. No experience required.

Step 02

Shallow water skills

Practice key skills in the shallow water next to the boat before going deeper. Clearing your mask, breathing underwater, and ascending safely.

Step 03

Guided reef dive

Your big moment. Dive the famous Pedernales wreck at just 25 ft depth with your instructor by your side the entire time. An unforgettable first dive.

What first-time divers say

"I was so nervous before but the instructor was incredibly patient and calm. By the end I was completely relaxed underwater. Truly magical."
