• AM I PHYSICALLY FIT FOR SCUBA DIVING?

  Most people in good general health can enjoy scuba diving. You should be able to swim, feel comfortable in the water, and have no serious medical conditions such as heart or lung problems. Sinus issues can also affect your ability to equalize pressure underwater. If you have frequent sinus infections, allergies, or are congested, it’s best to consult a doctor before diving. Before any dive, you’ll be asked to complete a medical questionnaire, and if you answer “yes” to certain conditions (like asthma, high blood pressure, recent surgeries, or sinus problems), a doctor’s clearance may be required. Your comfort and safety always come first!
