Dive boat FAQs
I am interested on participating in a group diving session. Approximately how many other divers can I expect to be on the trip with me?
Most dive boats will have anywhere from six to fifteen divers on them at a time. The exact number depends on demand as well as on the specific boat conductor with whom you are working. If you are ever concerned about the number of people, you can always ask.
I already have scuba gear designed for a pool. Can I use this to go diving?
No. Snorkeling gear designed for diving can double as more pedestrian pool snorkeling gear, but it doesn’t work the other way around. In order to dive, you will need snorkeling gear specifically designed for diving.
I’ve never been diving before. What are some common mistakes first-time divers make, so that I can avoid them?
For the most part, first-time divers are now led through by professional divemasters and as a result diving is safe and easily navigable. However, there are a few pet peeves that some first-timers don’t yet recognize. Most of these are pretty much common knowledge. Show up on time, be considerate of your fellow divers, and be mindful of your own gear.
Additionally, certain areas of most dive boats are designated as “dry areas.” These areas are for storing wallets, cell phones, dry towels, and so on. That is to say, they are not for storing wet suits or anything else that’s wet. A little consideration can go a long way toward improving the diving experience for everyone.
