With regard to scuba diving, you only need to be able to swim 200 meters in the swimming pool and after that you will be taught to be safe and confident underwater. The best thing about scuba diving is that you can breathe underwater. The air your breathe is carried with you in the tank that is strapped to your back. When you try scuba diving for the first time you will wear fins which will help you move around underwater. This means you only have to kick slowly in order to move. You can learn a lot in the pool session where the instructor will explain the use of the equipment and how to breathe underwater.
