Why Is It Important to Know What You Need for Your First Dive?

Taking your first breath underwater is a unique and magical sensation. But just like any new activity, having the right information and being well prepared makes all the difference 🧠💡

At Deep Ocean Diver, we often see beginners arrive with a lot of doubts: What do I bring? Will I be cold? Do I need to know how to swim? Knowing the answers in advance helps you enjoy the experience from the very first minute.

Besides, a well-informed diver is a safer diver 🤿 And safety is our top priority.

What Do You Actually Need for Your First Dive?

Let’s go step by step so you can arrive relaxed and ready to enjoy the ocean like never before 🐢

You don’t need a certification or previous experience. That’s the best part! With our PADI Discover Scuba Diving program, everything is explained and supervised by professional instructors.

Just bring a swimsuit, towel, and flip-flops. We’ll provide all the scuba gear: wetsuit, fins, mask, regulator, tank… All in perfect condition and adapted to your size.

Medical form and declaration. Before diving, you’ll need to fill out a brief questionnaire to ensure you’re in good health for the activity. If you have any doubts, consult your doctor beforehand.

It helps if you feel comfortable in the water. You don’t need to swim like a pro, but being at ease in the sea makes things easier and more enjoyable. Still unsure? Our PADI Scuba Diver course is a great next step if you want to go further!

No need to buy anything. Many people ask if they should get their own mask or wetsuit — for a first experience, it’s not necessary. Focus on enjoying it. If you fall in love with diving (and we think you will 💙), we’ll help you with the right gear later on.

You’ll learn some basic theory. Don’t worry, it’s simple! You’ll understand how pressure works, how to equalize your ears, and some basic hand signals for communication underwater. If you’re curious, you can check this brief external resource from Divers Alert Network, a globally recognized safety organization 🧠
