Scuba diving is generally a safe activity when proper training and guidelines are followed. We work with trusted PADI-certified dive centers and instructors who are highly trained to maintain highest safety standards through their teaching process and while leading divers every step of the way. We ensure thorough equipment checks, and detailed dive briefings, and adhere to strict safety protocols to ensure your diving experience is enjoyable and safe.

Our trips cater to divers of all experience levels. From beginners to advanced divers, we facilitate certifications and specialties suitable for everyone. We offer introductory courses for beginners and we also accommodate certified divers with various levels of experience.

No, you don't need to bring your own scuba diving equipment. We provide all necessary scuba gear, including wetsuits, masks, fins, regulators, and BCDs (buoyancy control devices). Equipment rentals may or may not be included in certain packages. However, if you have your own equipment and feel more comfortable using it, you are welcome to bring it along.

Scuba diving involves physical exertion, and it's important to be in good health. Prior to participating in any scuba diving activities, you will be required to fill out a medical questionnaire. If you have any pre-existing medical conditions or concerns, we strongly recommend consulting your physician before diving.

The minimum age for scuba diving varies depending on the destination and the diving certification agency regulations. However, most agencies require participants to be at least 10 to 12 years old to qualify for the Junior Open Water Certification. Certified divers of all ages can join our trips, but parental consent is necessary for minors.

It is strongly recommended that you have basic swimming skills and are comfortable in the water before attempting scuba diving. Although it is not necessary to be a pro-level swimmer, being able to swim comfortably helps ensure your safety and enjoyment during the dive. If you're not confident in your swimming abilities, we offer guided snorkeling and other water activities as alternatives to diving.

If you wear glasses, there are a few options available to you. One common solution is to wear contact lenses while diving. Another option is to invest in a prescription dive mask, which can be custom-made to match your eyesight requirements. These masks have built-in corrective lenses that allow you to see clearly underwater. The Zero Gravity team can guide you in selecting the best option for your needs.

Booking a scuba diving trip is easy. You can visit our website’s trip schedule section or contact us via email to check availability, browse upcoming trips, and make a reservation. Our team will guide you through the booking process, provide payment details, and answer any additional questions you may have.

Scuba diving is inherently a group activity and relies on a buddy system to uphold safety and accountability within a cohort. You will never dive alone and will always be accompanied by certified divemasters and/or instructors who will guide the dive.

PADI (Professional Association of Diving Instructors) and SSI (Scuba Schools International) are both well-known scuba diving certification agencies. While they share many similarities, there are a few differences. PADI is the larger and more widely recognized agency globally, offering a broad range of courses and a standardized curriculum. SSI focuses on personalized training and digital learning materials. Both agencies provide reputable certifications that are recognized worldwide.

Zero Gravity Adventures is a travel curation company that partners with reputable PADI-certified dive centers. These dive centers and their teams are required to uphold the rigorous standards as set by PADI which in turn gives them the ability to certify divers of different levels.

Depth limits are based on an individual’s certification. Open Water Divers are allowed down to 18 meters while Advanced Open Water Divers can go down to no more than 30 meters. It is imperative that divers do not cross their depth limits and follow their instructor or divemaster carefully during the dive.

Since scuba diving is a rigorous sport, the answer to this question is relative. We require all our guests to inform us of any such chronic medical conditions or surgeries beforehand and also consult with their physicians and bring a doctor’s note signing them off as physically fit and able to scuba dive.

We’re partnering with DAN Europe to provide you diving coverage for your upcoming diving trip. As you know all our trips require a mandatory insurance registration from all our guests as a means to be covered for expenses incase of an unlikely accident. DAN is the worldwide industry standard insurance provider and non-profit that goes above and beyond in ensuring that its members are well covered. The Bronze and Silver packages cover every member for upto 1 year (therefore applicable to future dive trips) + 40m depth limit or more and with DAN also covering transport costs to any medical treatment facilities.

Sharks are an integral part of the marine ecosystem, and encounters with them are generally mesmerizing and exciting for divers. It's crucial to note that the vast majority of shark species are not aggressive towards humans. To ensure a safe diving experience, we strictly adhere to established safety measures and guidelines:

• Professional Guides: Our experienced dive guides are well-trained and will provide pre-dive briefings to educate you on the types of sharks in the area and the appropriate conduct during an encounter.

• Dive Site Selection: We carefully choose dive sites frequented by divers with a low likelihood of encountering aggressive shark species. Your safety is our priority, and we aim to create enjoyable dive experiences without unnecessary risks.

• Group Diving: Diving in a group is a standard safety practice. Sharks are more likely to approach individuals who are isolated. By diving in a group, you reduce the chance of attracting undue attention.

• Respectful Behavior: Following respectful diving practices, such as maintaining a calm demeanor and avoiding sudden movements, ensures that marine life, including sharks, is less likely to perceive you as a threat.

Remember that the vast majority of shark species encountered during dives are harmless, and with the right precautions, shark encounters become an awe-inspiring part of your underwater adventure. Our dive instructors are here to answer any additional questions you may have about marine life and safety measures.
