Question 3

Do I have to sign up for a full course if I am not sure I will enjoy scuba diving?

Accepted Answer

No, you can start with SSI’s Try Scuba program, which gives you a taster of scuba diving without committing to a full certification program with an option to upgrade if you like it. During the Try Scuba program, your instructor will introduce you to the equipment, teach you essential dive safety, and keep a very close eye on you in the water as you take your first breaths through a regulator.

Question 4

Is Scuba Diving safe?

Accepted Answer

Yes! There have been decades of research put into scuba diving and how to make it as safe as possible. Diving programs have been designed to teach you everything you need to know about scuba diving safely.
This includes how to avoid running low on air, checking your air regularly, ascending slowly and safely to avoid decompression sickness, and planning your dives to make sure you stay safe. Scuba diving (like most activities) has its risks and hazards, but when a diver follows the rules that they are taught when they learn to scuba dive, it is an extremely safe activity.

Question 5

What is a Scuba certification?

Accepted Answer

A scuba certification is achieved after you pass all of the requirements during your scuba diving program. The best way to learn to scuba dive is to earn your Open Water Diver certification, which will certify you to dive safely to a maximum of 18 meters (60 feet) deep. 
Once you have this certification, you can flash it at any dive center around the world and start exploring the incredible underwater world. But getting your Open Water Diver certification is just the start of the adventure! There are many Advanced Diver programs you can join that will certify you to dive deeper, go shipwreck diving, night diving, and more.

Question 6

Will my scuba certification expire?

Accepted Answer

Once you are certified you are certified for life! However, if you have a period where you do not scuba dive for a while, you will need to take a scuba skills update with a dive professional who can assess your diving skills and ensure you are still comfortable in the water.
