Open Water Diving Course

open water diving course

I can’t swim but i want to learn diving. How?

i am planning to go for an open water diving course next week. help!!

I have had students that were learning how to swim at the same time that they were in my scuba class.

First and foremost, you need to be comfortable in the water. Most issues that I encounter during scuba class are related to people being uneasy in the water. If you don’t know how to swim, but are comfortable in the water, then I can teach you to scuba dive (see the next item for the exception to this comment).

Second, there is a swim evaluation (either swim or mask/fin/snorkel swim) and a water tread that are both required to complete the course.

Lastly, there is no “traditional” swiming motion (like free style or breaststroke) in scuba diving. You propulsion is by the fins using a variety of kicks. With that said you will be doing activities in/on the water; therefore, a certain level of swimming proficienty is needed for safety reason.
