The cost varies depending on the type and quality of the equipment. Beginner packages are a great value and usually start around $700.
Do I need to be certified to scuba dive?
Yes, scuba certification is essential for safety. Our basic course will teach you everything you need to know to dive confidently.
Does my scuba certification expire?
Your certification doesn't expire, but if it's been a while since your last dive, we recommend a refresher course to brush up on your skills.
How do scuba divers control their buoyancy?
Divers use a BCD and weight system to control buoyancy, allowing them to sink, float, or hover effortlessly. It's a key skill we teach in our certification courses.
Nervous about diving?
We understand! The key is to breathe slowly and deeply. If you feel anxious, practice relaxation techniques or try a "self-hug." And remember, your dive buddy and training will help you stay safe and have fun.
Is scuba diving difficult?
It might seem challenging at first, but with practice, it becomes second nature. Start with our basic course and build your skills from there. You'll be amazed at what you can achieve!
