      Scuba diving without a license is almost double the cost. And for the license, you have to do a 200m swim, or 300m snorkel. I also wasn't too much comfortable with swimming. But believe me, you can snorkel for 300m very easily.
      I'm going to motivate you all to do a Open Water Diver certification.

    Swimming skills gives you confidence.The truth is if you are a non swimmer it will be very difficult to do better and challenging dives around deep reefs and currents, night dives wreck dives, especially in liveaboards, or remote dive sites all over world. In India we do have very limited dive sites with good visibility and plentiful marine life.
    It's imperative to be proficient in swimming, or else diving for just selfies and vlogs just don't worth it, except someone is looking for one-time experience.
    You must still try some swimming lessons before starting to scuba diving.

    Swimming is a MUST to become a diver to better manage any underwater hazards. You can get away with not knowing swimming if you are doing this as a one time thing to strike it off from the bucket list like a "Discover Scuba/Scuba Intro" as shown in this vid. But that does NOT imply "Scuba Diving does not require you to know the skill of swimming". I'd refrain from making such generalised statements OR kindly be more specific by saying something like "Scuba intro as a one time experience does not need swimming skills". Plus this is not deep diving at all, as you are only 10m max below water. Real fun is when you get certified and be a diver i.e. you can dive on your own anywhere in the world. Definitely one needs to know swimming to become a certified diver who dives as a hobby/passion, as it is a pre-requisite for certification. If you love diving, I encourage you to get certified.

      If one can afford an scuba instructor for every drive, then the can dive as safety is taken care by instructor. But nothing like being certified open water diver which will require a person to know swimming.

    For the swimming part, I guess I can manage now after watching so many videos from non-swimmers. But on the later one, how much clearly were u able to see underwater? Where u wearing any Contact Lenses? More details on this would really help me, plssss share us your experience on this regard... BTW, I punched the Subscribe Button :)

    Definitely NOT. I’m a Divemaster, certified for more than 20 years and although dive accidents that will require you to swim are not frequent, a catastrophic BCD failure might occur. If you cannot swim, you will definitely panic and probably drown. An out of air situation that requires you to bail to the surface and stay afloat… many things can go wrong. You might need to assist another panicked diver on distress yourself…
    Scuba Diving is one of the most amazing hobbies in the world so if you’re going to invest the time to get certified, PLEASE, invest some more and learn how to swim.

    Totally misleading ! Scuba diving requires lots of skills, technical inclination towards the equipments, and getting comfortable with the the unpredictable ocean, swimming as skill gives that chance.
    Don't underestimate the ocean

    • @BreathtakingPostcards
      @BreathtakingPostcards  Рік тому

      This is not misleading. As you can see, the dive instructor himself said in the video - you can do basic Scuba along with assistance without knowing how to swim. It is no where saying you can do advanced scuba without an instructor. The purpose of the video is that people who don’t know how to swim (like myself) can still opt for a Scuba adventure along with a diver. Hope this clarifies.

      Hi Harshit, this video is not misguiding. It is an experience of how you can Scuba Dive without knowing how to swim but with an instructor by your side. This video is to encourage non-swimmers to try basic Scuba in Andaman which is very well monitored and safe, we have also named the Dive shop.
      No where it says this is how you get certified for open water. Those are advanced level courses.
