Discovery Scuba Diving

Discovery Scuba Diving is an introductory program designed for those wishing to discover scuba diving without committing to a full certification course.

Objective

During a Discovery scuba diving experience, participants learn basic safety procedures and how to use the equipment, then carry out a guided dive in shallow water.

This program is perfect for beginners who want to get a taste of diving before pursuing additional certification, such as the PADI Open Water Diver course.

What to expect from your diving day

To make the most of your experience, here's a quick checklist of what you need to take with you:

  1. Towel or warm clothing: for greater comfort during transport by boat.
  2. Swimsuit: to be worn from the start for greater practicality.

    What they said

    My family and I have dealt with la perle for outings of diving as well as certification for my son Malik. Pearl's service was impeccable and easy. Instructor Jesus gave my son a wonderful experience and he will remember his certification for the rest of his life. Thanks to everyone for everything!

    We spent two exceptional days with the Perle Noire group! Many thanks to Dominique for her impeccable organization of our sea escapades and to Jesus for his expertise and patience during our family scuba dive. The whole team was wonderful and gave us unforgettable moments, whether snorkeling or diving. Thank you all again for a memorable experience!

    Top-notch stay at La Perle Noire, with a bonus Openwater with Étienne and some great dives! Pleasant, well-designed hostel with small pool and rooftop.
    Warm welcome, good advice and good addresses to make your stay in Cozumel very pleasant! Very good spot!

    We spent 8 days in the Black Pearl and did several dive trips during the week, including a PADI certification and a refresh.

    It's a perfectly located, well-equipped place, with friendly people offering good advice. There are plenty of facilities (swimming pool, terrace, kitchen, etc.), and scooters can be rented for touring the island.

    We'd definitely go back tomorrow. Thanks to Michael and Laurent for their warm welcome and to Gildas for diving. We recommend without reservation!

    We used the services of la perle noir for our Padi open water certification. It was top-notch from start to finish for our 2-day training/dives. A special mention to our instructor Jesus, a nice teacher and local specialist. Thanks again for sharing these moments.

    We weren't able to take advantage of accommodation, but we organized all our dives with them and enjoyed the common areas. Everything is clean, well-maintained and beautiful. The pool is a real plus.

    The organized dives and equipment were perfect. The owners are always available, ready to help and very welcoming.
