Fitness
You do not need to be an athlete to use the equipment or go underwater. It's quite simple and a great experience. Relax, take it easy and enjoy the dive.
You will need to sign a declaration of medical fitness to dive. If you have any doubts about your fitness, please speak to the instructor running the introductory lecture.
