Personalized Services to Discover Scuba Diving, Certified Divers & Snorkeling

Have you always wondered what it’s like to breathe underwater? If you want to try scuba diving, our discovery diving course is just the ticket for beginners. If you’ve never tried it before, it gives you a really good feel for diving. Many of our beginners have never experienced what it’s like to breathe underwater, so it eases you in gently. Scubalibre Varadero offers this program either in a pool or off a beach. While not a scuba certification course, the Discovery Diving course is a quick and easy introduction to what it takes to explore the underwater world to a maximum depth of 12 meters/40 ft.

Discover Scuba Diving What will you learn?

The Discover Scuba Diving tour starts with a 20 to 30-minute lesson on basic scuba skills, the “dry” lesson will be followed by donning your gear and entering the shallow water to practice basic scuba skills. From shallow water, you will simply submerge and begin your guided dive along a coral reef.

If you are planning on getting open water certified you can count this dive toward that goal. Over the last 25 years, we’ve had thousands of our beginner divers continue to become PADI Open Water Certified Divers!

Today, the bay is a friendlier environment featuring ideal diving and snorkeling conditions directly from the coast, making transport by boat unnecessary. Its crystal-clear waters reveal surprising species of corals, sponges and schools of colorful tropical fish.

Cave of de Fish Cenote (Yes, like Mexican cenotes)
