It’s easy! Just call us at (716) 837 3483 or stop by our store and tell any of our staff members you want to learn how to scuba dive. You can also go to the "Scuba Instruction" section of our website for more info. Your life will change forever!
No, it’s very easy to learn as long as you are comfortable in the water. Scuba diving certification is split into three sections. Academics, pool skills training and open water testing. Each student moves at their own speed under the supervision of their instructor.
You must be at least 10 years old and in good average health to enroll. As a safety precaution you will be asked to complete a medical questionnaire. If anything on the questionnaire indicates there is something to be cautious about you will need to check with your physician to make sure it’s ok to dive.
Not at all. If you wear soft contact lenses you can wear them when you dive. Another popular option is to buy a mask with prescription lenses. See our staff for details.
It is true, that scuba diving is a rather equipment-intensive activity that can involve a huge amount of different accessories and add-ons. However, the beginner diver generally needs only 7 basic pieces of gear. Here is the list arranged in our suggested order of purchase:
1. Mask and snorkel
2. Fins
3. Dive computer
4. Wetsuit / drysuit
5. Regulator
6. Buoyancy compensator
7. Weights
You can read more about each piece of equipment in our Buyer's Guides.
A diving certification card, also called a C-card, serves to vouch for a diver’s qualifications. Recreational certifications are issued by numerous different diver training agencies and may differ slightly, however, all of them represent a defined level of ability and knowledge in underwater diving. The certification card may be required to prove the diver’s qualifications when booking a dive trip, hiring scuba equipment or filling diving cylinders.
No, not at all. There are some minor swimming skills required but in general if you can float or tread water and hold your breath for 15 seconds underwater you should have no problem with the swimming skills.
Scuba diving courses are “performance-based” which means that you earn your certification when you’ve mastered the required knowledge and water skills. Some people learn faster than others. You can take the “private lessons” and move very quickly depending on your availability. Or you can take group lessons which typically take between three to six weeks. It all depends on what you need. DIPNDIVE has so many options we can custom design a course that fits your busy schedule and your time frame.
To read more about our beginner certification course and class schedule, visit our "Learn to Scuba Dive" page.
The minimum age for NAUI (National Association of Underwater Instructors) or PADI (Professional Association of Dive Instructors) is ten years old. Between 10 and 15 years old you receive a junior certification which means you must dive with a certified adult. At 15 you can upgrade to a regular open water certification.
Even professional athletes need to be coached. Our instructors and divemasters can improve anyone’s snorkeling skill whether it’s your first time in the water, or you’ve been snorkeling for years.
