QCan I dive even during rainy days ?
AYou can dive! Rain is not a problem.
Of course, the sun from underwater on a sunny day is beautiful, but have you ever seen rain from underwater? Depending on how you look at it, you can turn something a little unpleasant into something fun. Wouldn't that be wonderful?
QCan I dive with contact lentils ?
AYou can do diving even with contact lenses, but we recommend using a prescription mask. Especially for beginners in diving, water can easily enter a regular mask or during training, water might intentionally be placed inside the mask. With contact lenses, there's a risk of them shifting or coming off, which could potentially lead to danger. Therefore, we recommend using a prescription mask.
QCan I scuba dive if I take medication regularly or have a medical condition?
AEven if light exercise is fine in daily life, scuba diving is a sport enjoyed in a unique underwater environment, so it's important not to underestimate it! Depending on the medication you take or your medical condition, there may be cases where diving is not advisable, while in other cases, it may be possible. It's reassuring to consult with your regular doctor about this.
