The Discover Scuba program is a 3-hour experience which begins with introductions, a discussion of the history of scuba diving, and a brief videotape.  Students get into the pool and are then assisted with putting on the scuba gear.  Students learn basic signs that are used in scuba diving and are taught how to breathe from the regulators, clear water from their masks, equalize pressure in their ears and sinuses, and use alternate air sources.  At the end of the lesson, students get a chance to swim around the pool using the full scuba gear.  It is always a fun afternoon that ends much too soon!
