The Doubt: Can I Dive If I Can’t Swim?

One of the most common questions we hear at our DOD dive center is: Can I scuba dive if I don’t know how to swim? Many believe scuba diving is like swimming underwater, but that’s not true. When diving, you use a suit, buoyancy vest, and gear that help you float or descend safely, always under the care of a certified instructor 🧑‍🏫✅

The fear of water or lack of swimming confidence is more common than you might think. That’s why it’s so important to choose a center that provides personalized attention, like Deep Ocean Diver.

The Solution: How Diving Works for Non-Swimmers

💡 The great news is: yes, you can try scuba diving even if you can’t swim! 🎉 In our Discover Scuba Diving experience, your first dive is always done hand-in-hand with an instructor who controls your buoyancy and guides you so you can simply enjoy the marine world 🐠🌟

Tenerife’s diving areas — especially places like Radazul — offer calm waters ideal for beginners. After your first experience, you can advance to a PADI Scuba Diver course or an Open Water Diver course to gain certification 🤿
