Diving Basics

The basic requirement for a beginner is to be able to swim well. Confidence is another crucial factor. Swimming and diving in deep water is enjoyed by few but feared by many.

A prospective diver must be as comfortable in deep water as in shallow. A healthy, supple and lean built is always an advantage for a diver.
