Scuba diving FAQs

Is scuba diving safe?

Yes! At Diventures, safety is our number one priority and fun is our number one goal. Learning to dive is all about learning how to use your gear and the skills you need to ensure you’re prepared underwater. We’re so passionate about safety, we promise that we will work with you until you feel safe and confident.

How much does scuba diving certification cost?

Course and training dive costs vary by location. Snorkel and safety gear is required, and prices for this equipment vary. We offer a wide selection of gear across many price points to fit most budgets. Our knowledgeable team members will recommend the best gear for your needs and budget.

How long does open water diver training take?

Most scuba diving students can complete their in-classroom work, home study, and pool sessions in just one of our open water diver training courses. But some divers may need more time, and Diventures is happy to help you get comfortable in the water at your own pace. If you’d like to get started in any scuba diving training course, find the one that fits your needs today!

Do I need to be an expert swimmer to dive?

You must demonstrate a basic swimming ability at the beginning of your scuba course. It’s good to make sure you are comfortable in the water and being able to swim can help you do that. However, diving underwater and swimming on top of the water are two entirely different activities. The best part of diving is the ability to relax and breathe underwater, so, if you can complete the swim on the first day, you should not have any issues. If you feel you need a swimming refresh, a private swim lesson is a great option.

To be open water certified, do I need my own scuba gear?

Yes. Before starting your open water dive training, you will need to purchase a personal snorkeling system and safety gear. These items are required by the Diventures team before you take part in your first class.

How long does my certification last?

Your open water diver certification is a lifetime certification, it never expires. If it’s been a year or more since your last dive, we highly recommend a scuba refresher class to ensure you are comfortable with your gear and skills.
