Learn to dive in Federal Way
Underwater Sports teaches PADI courses from Discover Scuba through Divemaster.
Pick a starting point
- Discover Scuba is a supervised first try-dive, for people not yet certified.
- Open Water Diver is the first certification and the one you need for shore dives.
- Advanced and specialty courses, including drysuit, add depth, navigation and comfort in cold water.
- Rescue Diver and Divemaster are for divers who want to lead and look after others.
Ask the shop which class fits you, and what it costs, since prices and schedules change.
Why a drysuit class matters here
Puget Sound water is cold all year. A drysuit keeps you warm and extends your season, and learning to use one properly is the best upgrade you can make to local diving.
After you certify
Come to a club dive. Start at a sheltered site such as Alki Cove or Redondo, and build from there.
