Can I dive if I don’t know how to swim?

- For scuba diving, basic swimming skills are necessary to maneuver in the water, but Discovery Dives take place in calm, shallow waters with one-on-one instructor guidance.

What’s the difference between Discovery Dives and Certified Dives?
Discovery Dives are for beginners with no experience. A professional instructor guides you through the entire process.
Certified Dives are for divers who already have an Open Water certification or higher and want to explore deeper sites.
Can I wear glasses or contacts while diving?
Glasses cannot be worn while diving, but contacts are perfectly fine and recommended for the best experience. Prescription masks are not available for rent, but you are welcome to bring your own.
Additionally, there is an automatic correction effect that occurs underwater due to light refraction, making things appear clearer, but contacts or a personal prescription mask will provide the best visibility.
How deep will we go?
Discovery Dives go to a maximum depth of 15 feet in shallow, calm water.
Certified divers typically dive between 30 and 60 feet, with deeper dives available.
Is there a weight limit for scuba diving?
We do not have a set weight limit, but divers must be reasonably mobile and fit into our gear. If you have concerns, contact us before booking.
What if I feel nervous or claustrophobic underwater?
It is completely normal to feel nervous. Our instructors will help you relax and get comfortable, guiding you through breathing techniques before descending.
Can I fly after scuba diving?
To reduce the risk of decompression sickness (DCS), it is recommended that you wait before flying after diving:
- After a single no-decompression dive: Wait at least 12 hours before flying.
- After multiple dives or multiple days of diving: Wait at least 18 hours before flying.
- After a dive that required decompression stops: Wait at least 24 hours before flying.
Flying too soon after diving can increase the risk of nitrogen bubbles forming in your bloodstream, leading to DCS (commonly known as "the bends"). For the safest experience, consider waiting a full 24 hours after your last dive before boarding a plane.
Do you offer group discounts?
While we don’t offer group discounts, we do ensure that every diver gets personalized attention and a top-tier experience. Larger groups require extra instructors to maintain our high safety and service standards, so we recommend booking early to secure availability.
