Things You Need To Know - Intro To Being A Certified Diver

Now, as I mentioned in my last Barrier Reef Australia blog, Discover Scuba Diving (DSD) is the first step in a tell all for both the student and the instructor as to whether or not there is a possibility that the student could complete a scuba diver or open water course. If you can recall, in the DSD, there is a mask clearing exercise as well as recovering a regulator and placing it back in the mouth. These two basic skills must be completed without the diver returning to the surface. They are quite simple but some people just can’t get passed them. But for those who do, and show potential, instructors will recommend that the individual continue on and become a certified scuba diver. Honestly, in the long run, it’s much cheaper if they are fully certified.
