Yes, we offer Nitrox (EANx). Requirements: You should be Enriched Air (Nitrox) certified (or you can take our Enriched Air Nitrox specialty). You will analyze the mix and set your dive computer to the correct EANx percentage before the dive. Surcharge: Nitrox is free of charge.

Except for pregnancies: No. Because doctors know very little about the effects of diving on the fetus, the recommendation to date has been that women should avoid diving if they are pregnant or trying to become pregnant. During menstruation, diving is normally not a problem.

The “weightlessness” you experience while scuba diving underwater is considered by many people to be very liberating. Modern diving masks are available as transparent models, which may be more suitable for you if you feel constricted by the mask. During your dive training, your instructor will give you plenty of time and practice opportunities so that you feel confident in every step and learning process. Your instructor will work with you at your own pace, making sure you master every skill necessary to become a good diver who enjoys diving regularly.

This case will most likely never happen to you because you have a gauge that tells you how much air you have left throughout the dive. This way you can get back to the surface in time and with a safe air reserve. But to answer the question anyway, if you do run out of air, use your dive buddy’s second mouthpiece to breathe from their tank while you surface together. There are other ways you will learn during your dive training.

With the proper training and experience, the limit for recreational diving is 40 meters. Beginner divers should not dive deeper than 18 meters. Although these are the usual limits, the most popular dive sites are often in shallower water, no deeper than 12 meters, where the water is warmer and the colors are more vibrant.

Only if you are lucky, you will get to see a shark while diving. Even though there are incidents with sharks from time to time, it is very, very rare that anything happens. Shark accidents while diving are mostly cases of harpoon fishing or shark feeding, both of which arouse the sharks’ feeding instinct. Most of the time you will only see sharks swimming by and it is a rather rare sight to be enjoyed.
