Frequently Asked Questions
What Do I Need To Start Diving?  
Surprisingly not very much!! All you need to start your training is a air of fins, a mask and a snorkel. As your training progresses you then
buy your basic SCUBA gear.
Do I Need To Be Fit??? As Diving is an outdoor adventure sport a certain level of fitness is required but do not worry you don't have to
be an Olympic swimmer.

Is The Gear Expensive?  
No. As with all sports there is an initial outlay to get your basic gear but some of this can be bought second hand from members of your club.
Also most dive shops offer starter packs which include everything you need to start diving at very reasonable
prices.
