Plan for the 24‑hour no‑fly rule
Do not book flights within 24 hours after your final dive—it's a standard safety rule following scuba training.
Bring basic swim gear
While SCUBA equipment is provided, bring a mask/snorkel and your own swimwear for comfort and fit.
Equalize early and often
Start equalizing on descent to avoid ear issues—your instructor will brief you, but practice beforehand if you’re prone to ear pressure.
Check public transport times
Meet at the dive school at 9:00 a.m.; public transit runs to the beach but can be crowded on summer weekends—allow extra travel time.
Mask & snorkel
A well-fitting mask improves underwater comfort and lets you practice breathing before using scuba gear.
Short wetsuit (3mm) or rashguard
Keeps you warm during surface intervals and adds minor thermal protection during shallow dives.
