Do I have to be a good swimmer to be able to dive?

Being able to swim is certainly not a disadvantage, however for the Discover Scuba Diving experience there is no swimming component involved. The main focus is on you being safe and having fun. If you decide that you would like to take your diving to the next level and undertake a ‘PADI Scuba Diver’ or ‘Open Water’ course there is a 200m-swim test and a 10-minuet survival float.
