Frequently Asked Questions

Is scuba diving safe?
Snowboarding, cycling, running, even cooking can be dangerous if you’re careless. Scuba diving, like any activity, has specific do’s and don’ts that you learn during your PADI® Open Water Diver certification course.The funny thing is, most non-divers think diving is dangerous because of sharks. The truth is there are at least 18 things more dangerous than sharks, including dogs, deer and cows.
I am not a great swimmer. Can I scuba dive?
Basic water skills are all you need to become a scuba diver. This includes the ability to:
· Float or tread water for 10 minutes – you can lie on your back, on your front, tread water, “dog paddle,” or anything else to stay afloat without using any flotation aids.
· Swim 200 metres/yards (or 300 metres/yards in mask, fins and snorkel) without stopping. There is no time limit, and you may use any swimming strokes you want.

PADI Professionals can help people of nearly any ability become underwater explorers. Adaptive techniques allow individuals with physical challenges to scuba dive, and it’s not uncommon for people with paraplegia, amputations, or other challenges to earn a PADI Open Water Diver certification.

Are scuba tanks full of pure oxygen?
The air we breathe everyday is about 21 percent oxygen and 78 percent nitrogen, and that's exactly what's inside most scuba tanks! The same air we breathe outside.
