PADI Discover Scuba Diving, Cabo San Lucas

Chances are you probably know someone who dives or has tried it on a vacation before. Enjoy a PADI Discover Scuba Diving experience with the professionals at Barefoot Dive Pro and explore the amazing marine life of the Cabo San Lucas Marine Park. Be confident in choosing to dive with the most experienced professional dive instructor team in Los Cabos. It has been our pleasure to introduce thousands of people new to diving with the PADI DSD program, we look forward to you joining us as well.

The DSD program includes elementary information in a short but thorough briefing, and skills practice in confined water followed by a shallow dive in the Marine Protected Area of Cabo. PADI allows, under the best conditions, an instructor to participant ratio of 1 to 4. At Barefoot the instructor to participant ratio is typically 1 to 2, allowing for hands on assistance to our new divers, ensuring your first experience will be the best possible.

If you would like to book a DSD with Barefoot Dive Pro you will need to download and fill out your information on the PADI Divers Medical Form. A YES answer to any question on the form necessitates a trip to the doctor before you can participant in the diving. Minimum age for DSD is 10 years old with parental involvement.


During the briefing you will learn about breathing underwater, hand signals, how to fin efficiently, the best method of breathing calmly and more. Then we will get into the shallow water at our confined site and practice skills in water you can stand up in. This is required by PADI, for your safety and comfort.

Once you have practiced the elementary skills in shallow water we will make our way to the slightly deeper sites to encounter all the beautiful reef fish, corals, sponge covered rocks, lobsters and lots more. Here in Cabo we say ‘On a bad dive you may only see 5,000 fish…’ You even have the option to organize a HD DVD of your dive experience, a wonderful momento of your first breaths underwater!

Once you have completed the PADI Discover SCUBA Diving experience you can go out for another dive under similar circumstances, or enroll in a dive training course to earn a dive certification. Great news, your DSD experience can count towards certification, so DSD really is a great way to start diving in Cabo San Lucas. Next step is the PADI Scuba Diver course – beware, diving is addictive!
