Learn to scuba dive in Jamaica and see the marine sights near the Falmouth Port - the best diving sights. Your master trainers will guide you first in a shallow and controlled area like a pool.

What To Expect
We'll start the day at the launching area in the Georgian cruise town of Falmouth where you'll meet your master instructor who will teach you all the basics. Get fitted in your scuba diving gear and receive a safety orientation from the dive master. Instructors are patient and helpful as they have over 20 years diving experience. Once you have mastered the controlled area, the dive master will decide if you are ready for the second phase of shore diving.
At your second location in this Discover Scuba Dive package, we aim to make it more adventurous than the controlled site so you will get better views of marine life and more colorful ambiance. Encounters are up close and personal, and your dive instructor will be with you all the way so you will be safe.
This is a 4 hour guided Discover Scuba Diving program that is perfect for uncertified and first time divers. A parent or guardian must be present for anyone under 17 years of age.
