Discover Scuba Diver

The Discover Scuba Diving session at Gerda's runs in the pool at the Olympiabad München, giving first-timers a controlled, instructor-led introduction to breathing underwater before committing to a full course. It's a pool-only session — no open water component — which makes it a low-pressure way to find out whether scuba is for you.

If you go ahead and book the full Open Water Diver course afterwards, €40 from the Discover Scuba fee gets credited toward the full course price. That makes it a sensible stepping stone rather than a standalone cost.

Gerda and Eddy run the session themselves, so you're in the water with the people who've been teaching here since the 1990s. No large groups, no outsourced instruction.

Medical certificate per VDST guidelines is required even for the introductory session.
