Almost anyone can become a scuba diver

Yep, that’s right. Scuba diving is available for almost anyone – and probably also for you. From the age of 8, children can practice scuba diving in shallow water. From the age of 10 and older, everyone can start their journey in learning how to scuba dive in the ocean and lakes. There’s no height or weight limit and equipment comes in all sizes. Everywhere around the world, there are dive shops that offer try-out dives, often called the “Discover Scuba Dive”. The shops will happily guide you on your first steps in the magical world of scuba diving.

Discover Scuba Dive vs Open Water Course: What’s the Difference?

When you just want to have a taste of scuba diving, the “try dive” is the way to go. By just making a try dive, you don’t get certified or need a certification but you will experience what scuba diving is like. A qualified instructor will be with you at all times guiding you. You start with some important theory, a few practice exercises in a confined water space (often a pool) and finally you make one or two dives no deeper than 40 feet. You do it all usually on the same day. Then afterwards, once you got hooked (which we expect), it’s time to start thinking about getting scuba certified. It is also possible to dive straight into getting scuba certified, without any try dive.

Getting scuba certified means you follow a course that includes several swimming pool sessions, a theoretical exam, and at least four dives in the ocean or a lake. When you’re on holiday, the course usually takes only three to four days. You start with a theoretical part, followed by practice in the pool, and then one or two dives. The exact build-up and execution depend on the certification agency and the dive shop. Many dive shops offer you to study for the theoretical part online at home. This way, you can arrive on holiday prepared.

Local dive shops usually spread their courses over a certain period. For example, you may start with once-a-week instruction for 5 weeks. Then, you’d follow with a theoretical part of 30 minutes. Finally, you’d have a one-hour practice session in the swimming pool. Ultimately, you’d finish with four Open Water dives.
