Frequently asked questions
What is introductory diving in Aruba?
Introductory (or resort) diving is a try-dive for non-certified divers. You get a briefing and then dive with an instructor. Depth and time are limited. Red Sail and other operators offer this so you can experience scuba without a full course.
Is introductory diving safe?
Yes. Intro dives are conducted in shallow, calm conditions with an instructor at your side. You'll learn basic skills in the briefing. It's designed for beginners and is a standard offering at dive resorts worldwide.
Can I get certified after an intro dive?
Yes. Many people do an intro dive first, then sign up for a full certification course (e.g. PADI Open Water) if they enjoy it. Your intro dive may count toward certification depending on the agency and program.
