Trying to Get Your Friends into Scuba Diving Scuba diving is a friend zoned system sport; it is natural to dream of sharing our passion with our dearest friends. However, we can sometimes forget how we felt before our Open Water Diver certification and all the things we learn after dive. So, when trying to get your friends into scuba diving, there are a couple of things to keep in mind.

Tell your friend- scuba diving is easy Recreational diving is not rocket science. In the beginning, basics learning can be overwhelming. Try to remember how you felt in your open water scuba diving classes.

What to do instead? Tell them that the purpose of Discover Scuba Diving is not to learn everything; the instructor will handle almost everything for them.

The experience is about the discovery of comfort and the feeling of breathing underwater

Fear of going underwater The fear of the fish, which is about being touched by something they can’t see. In other words, the fear of the unknown.


What to do instead? If your friend is not a confident swimmer, it is very difficult to try scuba diving and it might be a good idea to work on it together before pushing into it.

If marine life is a concern, then go through your best underwater pictures to show them the beauty of the underwater world. Tell them once underwater, through the snorkel mask, they will be able to see everything.


Tell Them Their Mistake Sometimes people tried diving once, and it didn’t go well. There can be thousands of reasons for it but telling them they must have missed something isn’t going to help. One concern most aspiring divers have is the pain they feel in their ears, maybe it’s something they’ve felt when they tried to swim underwater at the beach or in their local swimming pool.
