Q: Do I need to have previous Scuba experience for this activity?
A:

No, you don’t need to have any previous Scuba experience, but you must be able to swim without a flotation device.

Mar 2022
Q: How soon can I fly in an airplane after Scuba diving?
A:

Participants in the Guided Padi Discover Scuba Diving for Non-Certified Divers cannot fly in an airplane within 24 hours of their dive.

The main concern with scuba diving and flying is decompression sickness (DCS). Your body needs adequate time during an ascent to off-gas excess nitrogen, or you can form bubbles in your bloodstream, possibly leading to DCS.

Jun 2024
Q: Will I get seasick on Guided Padi Discover Scuba Diving for Non-Certified Divers?
A:

If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy.
