Frequently asked questions

There are no stupid questions in diving (just some questions are funnier than others). Below are some of the most regularly asked questions from our customers over the years. If that doesn’t answer yours then please fill in the form below and we will get back to you right away.

Is Scuba Diving Safe?2022-11-13T04:30:34+00:00

Scuba Diving has never been as safe as it is today with strict training standards and modern technology providing us with super safe Scuba equipment. As with all things in life there are risks if we don’t follow what we are taught or appreciate that marine life has defenses against unwanted attention.

Do I Need To Be Able To Swim?2022-11-13T04:54:37+00:00

Yes and No is the easy answer to that, let me explain further. If you just want to jump in and try a half day scuba diving experience then no swimming experience is necessary as our experienced Instructors will be on hand to hold on to you at all times.

If you wish to take a licence and become a certified Scuba Diver then you need only basic swimming skills and to be comfortable in the water. It’s NOT about the ability to swim long distances but about the ability to move comfortably through the water without panicking.

I’m Nervous, Is That A Problem?2022-11-13T04:55:35+00:00

Don’t worry – being nervous is completely normal and is a part of the human response to dealing with the unknown, most students are amazed how quickly nervousness turns to excitement as they get out of the classroom and into the warm clear waters that Phi Phi enjoys year round. Students who take a more cautious approach, displaying respect for the ocean and its associated dangers are more focused, more eager to learn, and make better students and divers.

If you are nervous please don’t be afraid and tell your Instructor before you get started, we have many techniques and ways to help you relax, and you will be swimming along in no time at all completely forgetting the nerves you had a few hours earlier.

Can Children Learn To Scuba Dive?2023-11-14T16:04:40+00:00

Yes, from 10 years and upwards we have an exciting range of Scuba Diving options for children. In most cases, children are excited and enthusiastic students who soak up the basic lessons and information and become absorbed in the underwater world quicker than many adults. Teaching whole families to dive is an amazing experience for us, knowing the fun and enjoyment that awaits that family with each new vacation they plan.
