Provided you can swim continuously for approximately 200 metres, any stroke, any speed, you can learn to dive. Within the information pack you receive a medical questionnaire. In it you are asked a series of questions about your medical history, if you can answer no to all of the questions you do not need a medical. If you need to answer 'yes' to one or more questions you should contact us for advice on arranging a medical. This is one of the most frequently asked questions.
Most people are pleasantly surprised to find that they remain warm whilst underwater.
At Undersea Adventures we use top quality equipment, this includes quality suits, which are designed for use in temperatures far lower than those we experience in Cornwall. Most people prefer, gradually, to buy their own equipment, initially mask, snorkel, fins and boots. Whilst doing your course with us you will have the opportunity to try different equipment, and with the knowledge gained and advice where required, decide on the best for you. Diving is a sport which can be enjoyed by both men and women. At Undersea Adventures we have both male and female instructors.
