Discover Scuba Diving with SUCI

What is SUCI’s Discover Scuba Diving (DSD) program?

SUCI's DSD Program is a fun, inexpensive, exciting, and learning-packed introduction to scuba diving. It is invaluable for making an informed decision about taking SUCI's Open Water Diver certification course.

When do you hold DSD events?

We typically hold DSD events twice a year, once in the Spring and once in the Fall. In 2021 we'll hold DSDs on March 24th and September 22nd, and all will run from 7:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m.. Registration closes at 5:00 p.m. on the preceding Wednesdays.  

Where do you hold them?

SUCI holds DSD events at the Toronto Pan Am Sports Centre (TPASC) at 875 Morningside Avenue (just south of Highway 401).

How do I sign up?

Simply fill out and submit our DSD Pre-Registration form and we'll get right back to you. Attendance is limited to 6 DSD and 6 OWD participants on a first-come, first-served basis, so to avoid disappointment sign up early.

How much does it cost, and what do I get for my money?

The cost is $45 per person per session which we require you to pay by eTransfer (preferred), cheque, or cash before close of registration. Here’s what you get for your money:

• Classroom instruction & learning
• Pool instruction (both above and under water), learning, excitement, and fun on scuba

• All scuba equipment for your session including mask, snorkel, fins, weights, scuba jacket, tank and regulators
• Membership in “ScubaEarth”, PADI’s online scuba diving community
• 90-day trial subscription to the digital version of PADI’s “Sport Diver” magazine
• Access to the first eLearning module of PADI’s Open Water Diver Course
• Discover Scuba Diving eCard*

*This eCard is not a certification card that allows you to dive independently. If you wish to dive independently, you will first need to successfully complete SUCI’s Open Water Diver Certification course.

What will I learn?

You'll learn the essentials of scuba diving and experience the thrill of what it's like to breathe under water.

What do I need to provide?

• Payment of the $45 DSD fee by the close of registration (5:00 pm on the Wednesday preceding your DSD session)
• Your bathing suit, a t-shirt, or shortie wetsuit to wear under your scuba equipment, a towel, and some paperwork we’ll ask you to complete after you register.

Refund Policy:

• Full refund if you cancel before Close of Registration or if SUCI has to cancel
• No refund if you cancel after Close of Registration or do not show up
