Guys,
Me n my wife interested to take up diving. We already bored with snorkelling  Do we need to know swimming to take the diving course? Do we need to take discover scuba 1st? or straight open water? A bit confuse on the certification. Thanks  |

QUOTE(munkeyflo @ May 11 2011, 12:14 PM) You don't have to do discovery before you take OWD. It's not a requirement nor do I see any need for it. It's more for those who don't really know what diving is all about and wanna try it out, just like a trial dive Appreciate the info I did two discovery dives before I took my OWD. First one was just for fun. Second was with my bf cause he hasn't tried it before. Then a year after that we took up OWD. You don't really need to be a professional swimmer to learn diving. As long as you can swim, in your own way, and also keep yourself afloat. That's good enough. Any recomended instructor around Shah Alam/PJ?
