Try Scuba Diving

Imagine the thrill of exploring underwater worlds-this experience is perfect for adventure seekers and beginners alike.

You might have watched an amazing movie featuring scuba divers interacting with dolphins, or perhaps a friend just returned from an exciting dive trip to the islands. Maybe you’ve always dreamed of exploring a WWII wreck. Whatever your reason, we’ll have you blowing bubbles underwater in no time.

Our Try Scuba experience is a thrilling way to discover what it feels like to be weightless and breathe underwater. We offer two different Try Scuba programs for you to choose from: one at A-1 Scuba & Travel Aquatics Center and another at the Downtown Aquarium!

Scuba Divers beckoning you into the water

Your dive professional will help you get outfitted in your total diving system and then conduct a safety briefing. Afterward, you’ll discover how simple and enjoyable it is to breathe and swim effortlessly underwater.
