Common Problem
Do I need to know how to swim to go scuba diving?
The short answer is yes, and no. If you are a non-swimmer who is interested in trying scuba diving and want to explore the oceans, the PADI Discover Scuba Diving program is a perfect fit. Under this program, you are not required to know how to swim and a dive master will assist you during the dive. However, you will be required to perform a few easy underwater skills during pool training prior to the dive (Check out our Discover Scuba Diving itinerary for more details).
How long does a scuba diving course take?
The ocean’s best kept secrets can be found in the deeper parts of the ocean and since it is not all that accessible, the corals and marine life here is thriving to its fullest. However, there are limits to how far down you can dive. Recreational divers are allowed to dive to a maximum depth of 30 m/100 ft. (40 m/131 ft. if they have completed their Deep Speciality course). Diving below this limit is only accessible to those who have completed their Technical Diving course, generally known as tech divers.

Aren’t you afraid of shark attacks?
We are not and you shouldn’t be either! In fact, sharks are on the top of the list of things that excite scuba divers. Most scuba divers go looking for sharks or travel to dive locations known for shark sightings. Sharks tend to be quite disinterested in scuba divers and do not aggressively react to their presence. A lot of the ideas around “shark attacks” are pop culture driven thanks to movies like Jaws or The Meg (seriously what was that movie?!). Truth is, sharks are in far more danger from us than we are from them. Millions of sharks are killed every year in annual shark hunting festivals, for medicines or even for something as little as a bowl of soup. Different species of sharks are inching towards extinction due to these practices, posing a threat to the marine ecosystem.
