The first dives I did were as part of the PADI Discover SCUBA offering - I'm not sure if this differs from the SCUBA Diver qualification. This was basically a "6m bimble" but with an instructor following an afternoon of video watching and pool skills. At this stage I had no idea if I wanted to gain any qualifications, I just fancied trying it out.
