  • Do I need to know how to swim?

    Yes, you need to know how to swim. However, you don't need to be a master swimmer. As long as you have basic swimming skills, and you feel comfortable in the water, then you should be good to go. We will evaluate your swimming abilities. If we feel as if you are not ready for SCUBA, we'll let you know.

  • Do I need to have a partner?

    Learning to dive with a friend or family member is just a lot more fun, but you are not required to bring a dive buddy with you. Our instructors are happy to be your "buddy", or if you are in a group class, we will match you up with someone.
