First-Timers Dive Requirements

Your Must-Dos

  • You need to be 10 years or older to join us.
  • Scuba diving needs some level of fitness and health. If you have chronic health conditions, certain medications, or recent surgery, you might need a doctor’s go-ahead. To avoid a bummer, check out the PADI Medical Questionnaire to confirm you won’t need a doc’s sign-off.
  • Every newbie diver must finish a 20 min PADI Online Registration and Orientation, called “Discover Scuba Dive eLearning”. This includes the Medical questionnaire and important info for your dive.
  • Remember, for your safety, don’t hit elevations above 1000′ within 18 hours after diving. This includes places like Waimea Canyon, Helicopter Tours, and Commercial Airline Flights. Keep this in mind when scheduling your dives, dude.

Look out for a specific link in your confirmation email after booking to start the “Discover Scuba Dive eLearning”.
