Do I need to be able to Swim to try scuba diving?

Many people ask us “Do I need to be able to swim to scuba dive”? and the best reply I can say is “No you Don’t” –  People from all over the world who travel to Phuket to learn Diving that is not able to swim. Beginners go diving in Phuket each day without being a good swimmer, with the right training, and after listening to some instructions from a professional diving instructor you can learn to dive. When you try Scuba diving for the first time you will wear Fins, these help you to move around underwater meaning that you only have to kick slowly to be able to move. As someone who may not be able to swim well in deep water or simply not that confident as a swimmer then the pool session makes sense.
