Experience scuba diving in a relaxed and welcoming way with this Discovery Diving program, perfect for anyone curious about exploring the underwater world without committing to a full certification course. Designed for beginners aged 10 and above, this experience lets you learn the basics of scuba diving in a safe and controlled environment under the guidance of certified instructors. With decades of experience, the program focuses on building confidence through simple explanations, hands-on practice, and a fun, non-intimidating approach that helps first-time divers feel comfortable from the start.

The day begins with a short classroom session where you’ll learn how scuba equipment works and what to expect underwater, followed by practical skill practice in the ocean. Your first dive starts from the beach to apply the basics, then continues with two guided boat dives over Cancun’s colorful coral reefs. You’ll dive to a maximum depth of 30 feet, surrounded by vibrant marine life, while instructors adjust the pace to suit your comfort level. By the end of the experience, you’ll have a true taste of scuba diving and a clear idea of whether you’d like to continue toward an Open Water Diver certification.

I've only given 3 stars for the simple reason I wasn't impressed in having to haul our hired cylinders off the boat up slippy steep steps into our cars and transport them to the shop and then return and take them down the steps back onto the boat, Phew! Sweat on, knackered before I dive! I could have a bend or slip and break something! I certainly think the boat would benefit from a compressor, it would have helped if they had transported and returned the cylinders in their own vehicle. It would make things so much easier and pleasurable. Rather than making it feel like a working holiday. OK so I'm not a young whipper snapper but I think I'm reasonably fit for a mature person, a few knocks and bangs here and there. To finish off the day we had their accomodation above the shop to scale. More steps, boo boo. Not bad when you get up there, a bit tired but OK, has everything you need. So I've done a bit of moaning, apologies. Diving wise, it was brilliant although the weather was unpredictable and we lost a few days! Time we spent visiting the Island, fab. On the good days we had some really good dives, clear waters, seals nibbling at your fins, so much life, shoals of fish. Plenty of different sites to visit out of Port St Mary so if you can't get on one then there is always another. The boat was a typical dive boat with a lift at the rear, good and solid, well skippered and managed. Overall I enjoyed the experience, if I was to return to the IOM I might think about accomodation on the ground floor and look for a boat with an on board compressor or at least assistance to haul the cylinders around.

They gave me a a dry suit with holes in it. I didn’t realise until I’d left the shop. I ended up having to borrow someone else’s. Not only did they not give a refund, but they blamed it on me and said I’m lucky they’re not making me pay for damages. Next time I went, they again tried to give me a dry suit with holes in it.

Fantastic dive shop with knowledgeable staff and superb instructors. They have everything from snorkels to rebreathers. If you are starting your journey or are looking for further training, Discover Diving is "THE" place to go on the Isle of Man. Go check em out!

The best dive shops I've been to, even the ones in the UK don't come up to this. Friendly service and skilled knowledgeable staff who help rather than just sell you something. Can't rate it enough.
