We plan to go to puerto galera by next month, and we are seriously considering trying scuba diving for the first time. Do we need to attend a course first even if we will dive only once? how much are the average rates and can you also suggest cheap diving rates there?

I am wanting to become certified for SCUBA diving but I don’t have anyone to take classes with, all my friends are scared of SCUBA diving. So will dive shops still certify you if you are solo?

As opposed to warm water scuba diving, is cold water diving distinctly different when it comes to equipment? Other than maybe a thicker wetsuit, are there differences in equipment or the way you should shop for equipment?

I am going scuba diving in a month and need to take some underwater photos. I am considering buying a hard plastic case for a digital camera which run around $250. Or I am thinking about trying these soft plastic cases that run around $30. Has anyone used either of these before? Did the photos turn out okay? I will be going in shallow water, probably no deeper than 60 feet. Do you think I need an extra flash to take good pictures?
Thanks.

I have a project for a resort management class in school and I’ve decided that I want to bring night diving into a resort that I’ve made up. But, I don’t scuba dive so I don’t know what equipment is needed. Specific names of the equipment would be very helpful because I need to find the cost for them. It would be great if you could help me out! Thanks!

Do I need to do some sort of course to use a camera while scuba diving? or is a normal PADI scuba diver certificate fine? Sounds a bit stupid..but thought it better to ask before spending £300+. Thanks!

I have no prior experience of scuba diving. I am going to catalina island next month hopefully to take a resort course scuba dive on my birthday.
But I do not want to go to Catalina and find out that I am not capable and ruin my birthday wish. Can I be a so-so swimmer and go? Is it hard to swim underwater with all that heavy stuff on you? Can I train myself before I go scuba diving on my birthday? Any input would be appreciated.
