FAQs

Don’t have any diving experience at all, can I dive?

Of course you can! You will participate in the «Try Scuba» course and we will teach you all you need to know for a safe and joyful first dive!!!

I can’t swim, how can I dive then?

The ability of swimming is connected to the ability of staying on the surface. In Scuba diving there isn’t such a problem cause the nature of the activity is totally different. Divers perform the sport under the surface, they can control their buoyancy and propulsion easily and when they come to the surface they float because of the buoyancy control device (Jacket). You can participate in the «Experience Diving» course and tell us in advance about this particularity, so we will help you the best way we can.

I have contact lenses on, can I safely use a mask?

Most of the International Diving Organizations have an age limitation at 10 years old. This is because the vital systems of the child (respiratory, circulatory etc) are not yet complete formed.

Most of the medical problems are not prohibitive factors for a shallow relaxing dive.

Every diver has to fill up a question list before participating in any of the diving programs.
