I previously had ear injury. Can I still dive?
Equalizing your ears is a critical skill in diving. If you have any problems or other health issues, please consult your doctor.
I have never done diving nor snorkeling. Can I join Discover Scuba Diving program?
Yes. There is no prior experience necessary for our Discover Scuba Diving program.
I cannot swim. Can I still become a certified diver?
You do not have to be a good swimmer, but swimming is one of the important skills in diving. In the PADI Open Water Diver course you will be required to float 10min without any floating aid, and swim 200m without any swimming aid (300m with mask, fins, and snorkel).
