Frequently asked questions

  • Do I have to be able to swim to do a Discover Scuba Diver Course?

  • NO, as long as you want to have a go there is no reason why you couldn’t try it out in the pool. Then work towards a dive in the sea, by having a floatation device attached to you, you are in no danger, and you will have a instructor all to yourself, you will walk into the sea all fall forwards and gently drift along watching the fish. However you would need to be able to swim to complete your open water diver course.
