Let’s get this out of the way right now: You don’t need to be 100% sure you want to become a certified diver to give SCUBA a try.

In fact, if you’re still in the “maybe someday” zone? That’s exactly who the Try SCUBA program is for.

I can’t tell you how many people walk through the doors at Tri-City SCUBA saying, “I’ve always wanted to try this, but I’m not sure it’s for me,” and end up walking out grinning ear to ear, already asking when the next dive is.

So if that’s you — if you’re hovering somewhere between curious and unsure — this is your sign.


Try SCUBA isn’t a commitment. It’s a taste.

There’s no certification. No pressure. No deep dives or swim tests or hours of studying dive tables.

It’s one simple session, done in a pool or controlled water environment. You’ll learn the basics, get familiar with the gear, and take your first real breath underwater — with a certified instructor right by your side.

You’re not “joining the club.” You’re just giving it a go. You can stand up whenever you want. We’re not out to sell you on anything. We’re just here to give you a safe, supportive, and fun way to find out if the underwater world might be your thing.


Still unsure? Good. That’s normal.

You wouldn’t be human if you didn’t have a little hesitation about breathing underwater for the first time. But that’s why we do this slowly.

We’re here to walk you through every step, answer every question, and never, ever rush you. The goal of Try SCUBA isn’t to impress anyone — it’s to build your comfort and confidence at your pace.

Whether you’re nervous about the gear, unsure if you’ll like the sensation, or just don’t know what to expect, this is the place to figure it out — judgment-free, with real guidance from someone who’s been there.


You don’t need to be “ready.” You just need to be open.

Here’s the truth: Most people aren’t 100% ready before they try SCUBA.

They’re curious. They’re looking for something new. They want an experience that shakes up the routine a bit. And they’re willing to lean into something unknown — just enough to see what’s possible.

You don’t need to be a thrill-seeker or an adrenaline junkie. You don’t need to be in top shape. You don’t need to know all the terminology or have fancy gear.

All you need is that little flicker of interest — the part of you that thinks, “Hmm… maybe I could do this.”

We’ll take it from there.


Let this be your first breath into something new.

Try SCUBA isn’t just about diving — it’s about giving yourself a chance to do something extraordinary.

And who knows? That one session might lead to your certification. Or your first ocean dive. Or a family dive trip. Or a lifelong love of the underwater world.

But it starts with one breath.


Give it a shot — you’ve got nothing to lose.
