Beginner Diving Questions

Do I need any experience to try introductory diving?
No prior diving experience is required! Our introductory program is specifically designed for complete beginners. We start with basic concepts, provide thorough pool training, and gradually progress to shallow ocean diving with constant instructor supervision. Basic swimming ability is the only prerequisite.
How deep will we go during the introductory dive?
Introductory dives are limited to maximum depths of 40 feet (12 meters) for safety and comfort. Most of the dive occurs in 15-25 feet of water where there’s excellent natural light, colorful marine life, and easy access to the surface. This depth provides a full diving experience while maintaining conservative safety margins.
What happens if I feel uncomfortable underwater?
Your instructor remains within arm’s reach throughout the entire dive and is trained to recognize and address any discomfort immediately. We can ascend slowly to the surface at any time if needed. The pool training session helps identify and resolve any concerns before entering the ocean environment.
Is introductory diving safe for people with medical conditions?
All participants complete a medical questionnaire, and certain conditions may require physician approval before diving. Common concerns include heart conditions, respiratory issues, and certain medications. Our staff reviews all medical information and can recommend appropriate medical clearance when necessary for your safety.
Can this experience count toward diving certification?
While introductory diving doesn’t provide certification credit, it’s an excellent way to determine your interest in pursuing full PADI Open Water certification. Many participants continue with our certification courses after their positive introductory experience. We offer special pricing for those who decide to pursue full certification.
