Discover scuba dive

Hi, I need help, I finally talked my husband into doing a discovery scuba dive. Maho Bay Camp ground offers this for $90.00 each. It sounds like a great deal. Other choice would be Cruz Bay watersports or if you have any other suggestions. I need to hurry up an book this. Way behind schedule this year.

i dove with Maho years ago, but not recently, I would say that the divemaster was excellent and really safety conscious--for persons doing 'resort' dives he was super ---provided a great deal of great instruction and really checked everybody out with their equipment. I am not sure who does their dives now, but i have faith that an operation like Maho would have hired only someone that was great.

We took our open water dive certification course from Low Key last May. Some of the people who dove with us were taking the Discovery course. They seemed to be just as good with them as they were with us. I don't know if Maho is doing a shore dive or if they have a boat. Low Key took their Discover divers on the boat to the same places as their open water students and experienced divers.

You can check their web site for prices.

I'll bet you get hooked and finish the certification course.

I have not been diving in 20 years. I used to work for a dive company in Ft. Lauderdale while in college. I want to get recertified, I have no idea how to do it any more, and I want Mel to try to see if he likes it. I like the idea of doing a shore dive first for Mel. Thanks for your help.

I am a certified diver but my brother-in-law tried the discover scuba with Lowkey and my daughter did it with Cruz Bay out of the Westin and they both enjoyed it very much. Both did a shallow reef dive (Steven's Key) from a boat. They give you about 1/2 hour of instruction and a few hand signals prior to the boat leaving the dock. They were both very comfortable in the water and I would recommend both dive shops.

Good luck ,you'll love it!

Just did 2 trips last week with Cruz Bay off Westin Dock, one with Chris and Justin and one with Chris and James, I am Certified but they were taking Discover dives in the afternoon. Both dives were great, small groups(4 or 5) and very relaxed and it looked like afternoon groups were about the same.
