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 $39, you get one introduction to scuba-diving class (an $80 value) at Dolphin Scuba Center. Dive in at the Sacramento location.

Strap on your scuba mask and submerge your flippers for aquatic exploration during the Introduction to Scuba class, which covers the basics of using scuba equipment and breathing underwater. Under the watchful eye of a PADI-certified diving instructor, students will master basic concepts and scuba skills in the comfort of the center's 92-degree, indoor, heated pool. The friendly diving professionals will provide you with all the necessary equipment, including a mask, snorkel, fins, buoyancy-compensating jacket, scuba tank, and regulator. You can use this class toward future diving certification.

You must bring a bathing suit and towel to your lesson. Participants must be 10 years old or older.
