Sounds to me like this place does skills at the dive site :
Our dive sites are about 15-20 minutes away and once you arrive there we put everyone else into the water and then throw out a floating line for you to hang onto while the instructor individually comes to you and takes you down a couple feet and has you complete a few skills such as how to clear a mask, replacing/clearing a regulator if water gets in and checking to see if you have the correct amount of weight – we also want to make sure they are comfortable with everything before heading out. Once this is completed the diver will go out on their first dive. The dives for Discover Scuba cannot exceed 40 feet and most times are around 30ish feet.
If your girl is not freaking out about it, she may be okay. But I would try to at least convince her to try it in a pool locally first, then try it in the ocean. that may be too task loaded to try and do, and hang on to a rope.
