Have you always wanted to try scuba diving without the pressure of completing a certification course? The PADI Discover Scuba Diving course is the perfect trial dive experience. This introductory session lets you try scuba diving in one of our heated swimming pools, conveniently located across several locations near Central London, Brighton, North London, Hertfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Surrey, Berkshire, Kent, and Oxfordshire.
The diving experience is a one-and-a-half-hour minimum introduction to diving. It begins with a safety briefing from a professional PADI instructor. Participants start in the shallow end of the pool, where they learn to use the scuba equipment and take their first breaths underwater. Basic safety skills are also covered at this stage.
Following this, participants venture into the deep end to experience weightlessness, simulating an astronaut’s experience. While this trial dive does not result in a certification, it provides a fantastic introduction to the underwater world and helps you decide if you want to pursue the full open water certification.
Our sessions are held in six heated swimming pools across various locations, ensuring easy access for participants from Central London, Brighton, North London, Hertfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Surrey, Berkshire, Kent, and Oxfordshire.
Each location is equipped to provide a comfortable and safe environment for your diving experience.
To participate in the PADI Discover Scuba Diving experience, you need to be at least 10 years old. No previous diving experience is necessary, but being in reasonably good physical health is important.
Our centre has a proven track record of introducing people to the joys of scuba diving. We offer a comprehensive and enjoyable experience with professional PADI instructors.
After completing your trial dive, you’ll receive a code that offers half your money back if you decide to enrol in our PADI Open Water Course. This incentive not only saves you money but also supports your progression in scuba diving. Our heated pools and accessible locations make it easy and convenient to start your diving adventure.

Having not dived for 5 years I was worried that I did not know how to set up the kit and do the dive basics. This course was perfect. I was able to ask all the questions I wanted and the instructor was calm and positive. I completed the course…
