Typical Session will last approximately 4 hours.

We have two sessions starting each day, usually sessions begin at 10:00 AM and 2:00 PM

The pool segment of your Open Water training is scheduled as a one day event. Students and Instructors will meet at Saguaro Diving, generally at 8am, and start the day with SCUBA gear assignment and set-up. The student is responsible for having their personal gear; mask, fins, dive boots and snorkel; prior to this day of training. From the shop we will head out to a designated Mesa Parks & Rec pool for a day of training and fun. Before donning SCUBA gear there is a swim evaluation; 200 yards, any stroke, and a 10 minute float/tread; as required by the certifying agency, PADI/SDI. It is during your water time that the required skills are accomplished to make you a safe diver. Later, during your Open Water certification dives, you will be evaluated on some of the skills that you learned in the pool. Because PADI/SDI training is standardized the student will accomplish the same skills/be evaluated on specific skills no matter where the training is conducted. Although you will not need your educational materials for this session, please pack a picnic style lunch, beverages, a bathing suit & towel, and sunscreen, along with your personal gear.

🌊 Kids Can Discover Scuba at Saguaro Scuba! 🐠

Looking for an unforgettable underwater adventure for your child? Saguaro Scuba offers THREE exciting scuba introduction programs designed just for kids!

🤿 Ages 10+
• SDI Discover Scuba ~ Your first step into the world of diving! Diving is so magical that it’s hard to explain. Like the first time you breathe underwater, when your brain registers it as a unique and unrepeatable moment. Or when you feel the weightlessness: your body feels light, and floating becomes natural, the closest feeling to flying. It all happens as you discover a new world filled with incredible animals, lively reefs, and silent wrecks that tell stories. No, it can never be fully described. You have to live it, guided and calm, so you can simply enjoy the moment. The experience begins here.

• PADI Discover Scuba Diving ~ Want to find out what scuba diving is like before deciding to get your PADI Open Water Diver scuba diving certification? During a Discover Scuba^® Diving experience, you can try scuba diving for the first time in a pool or calm water environment. A highly-trained PADI^® Professional will provide scuba gear, explain basic scuba diving skills and answer any questions you may have. After your Discover Scuba, if you decide to complete your certification course with Saguaro Scuba, you will be refunded the total cost of the Discover Scuba and you already have a good start on the knowledge and the skills you will need to complete your SDI or PADI open water diver course.

Like the first time you breathe underwater, when your brain registers it as a unique and unrepeatable moment. Or when you feel the weightlessness: your body feels light, and floating becomes natural, the closest feeling to flying. It all happens as you discover a new world filled with incredible animals, lively reefs, and silent wrecks that tell stories. No, it can never be fully described. You have to live it, guided and calm, so you can simply enjoy the moment. The experience begins here.
