One of the questions that always show on the searches is “can I scuba dive without certification?” The short answer is YES! Dive centers worldwide offer an introduction to scuba diving (Resort Course, also known as PADI DSD) that usually takes a half-day to complete. The resort course can be conducted in a pool, lake, or ocean under the direct supervision of a diving professional.
The Resort course consists of a short video, explaining what scuba diving is, the fundamentals of scuba diving, underwater signs and signals, the equipment, and what to expect on the dive. You will then spend time with a diving professional practicing the skills you will require to learn to scuba dive. Once successful with the skills, you are ready to explore the reef with your dive instructor. The best place to try scuba diving is in the Tropics, here is why.
