Similar to tickling a bear without losing an arm, the art of breathing underwater requires years of practice and dedication. Introduce your lungs to aqueous awareness with today’s Groupon: for $25, you get a Try Scuba Diving lesson (a $50 value) from Bamboo Reef at its downtown 4th Street location only. This Groupon includes all rental equipment.
Bamboo Reef has been providing scuba lessons and certification since it emerged from a scallop shell in 1961, conducting its three-hour Try Scuba Diving lesson from within the safe confines of a heated, 82-degree indoor pool (with a few great white sharks added for realism). Unlike staring down the vast expanse of the ocean for the first time, climbing into a swimming pool does not play an aria of fear on the minor-key strings of the heart. Bamboo Reef's certified, experienced instructor will help you relax and acquiesce to the rules of underwater etiquette. He or she will also impart the basics of using scuba equipment properly to neophytes under the misimpression that pressure gauges attach to octopus tentacles. Consult Bamboo Reef's flexible schedule to find a lesson time that works for you.
Though you won't be certified to dive just from one class, you will be certified to sit in puddles while wearing scuba gear, and you will feel confident enough in your ability to pursue further study. Your lesson can be applied toward obtaining dive certification or tucked away in a drawer next to your single-marble marble collection and honorary doctorate from Bob Jones University. Learn to scuba dive gracefully through the water so that you can fully enjoy upcoming vacations to coral reefs, fish schools, and the lost underwater city of Atlanta.
Must be more than 12 years old. If less than 18 years old, you must have a parent or guardian present. All participants may need to sign a medical release form.

About Bamboo Reef
Since 1961, Bamboo Reef has been unlocking the depths of the ocean by training scuba adventurers, outfitting them with gear and repairing equipment on the fritz. Skilled instructors guide swimmers during diving classes that range from paddling in an 82-degree pool to advanced night navigation in the Pacific's dunk tank. Refresher and specialty courses continue students’ aquatic education after they’ve mastered the basics of gliding through the deep blue. Bamboo Reef also coordinates dives off the shores of Monterey, Carmel, and international coasts that count toward specialty, advanced, and master diver ratings as well as black belts in underwater kickboxing.
The water wizards also rent and sell gear from brands such as Aqua Lung and Mares. Professional technicians—who maintain more than $10,000 in parts inventory—stand at the ready to repair all major brands of scuba equipment.
