Important Information

  • As it may rain for brief periods from May to November we suggest bringing a light rain coat that easily packs into your bag. You may also bring along your own snack and drink items. You do not need to be a strong swimmer to take part in Discover Scuba Diving, but you should feel comfortable in water too deep to stand in.
