First of all, you must find out whether you want to learn scuba diving or free diving! Scuba diving is with gas cylinders, which is very casual; Free diving means holding your breath without a gas bottle. This is the limit!
After you have set your study goals, you can find a coach! ! Years of working experience in diving shops tell you how to find a coach so as not to be cheated! ! Pay attention to protect yourself and don't fall into the "bad coach's pit" ~
First, select an organization.
If you like scuba diving, it is recommended to choose PADI；; If you like free diving and shooting mermaids, it is recommended to choose SSI；; If you have a certain foundation and like difficult diving challenges, it is recommended to choose TDI；; Like leisure diving, SDI is recommended.
Second, choose a coach.
It is recommended to choose a legal and compliant diving shop coach. A good diving shop will have higher requirements for coaches and better supporting facilities. Generally speaking, diving shops have their own home pages. The more standardized the dive shop, the more detailed the information on the home page will be. When you know the general situation and have a choice in your heart, you can communicate further.
Try to communicate with the coach himself. After all, there are more online salespeople than coaches. Ask the instructor all questions about diving, such as consulting equipment. If you like to ignore them or can't answer them, then leave quickly.
Finally, learn to dive, you must be able to swim! Any coach who tells you that you can't swim is a big liar! Run! ! !
Third, whether to recommend equipment?
When studying, diving shops usually provide a set of basic equipment. Students only need to prepare jellyfish clothes with long-sleeved trousers (because they are personal close-fitting clothes), which are mainly used for sun protection and coral scratch prevention. If the hygiene habit is high, scuba can buy a bite in advance, and you can buy your own breathing tube for free diving. So if your coach vigorously promotes you to buy all kinds of equipment from the beginning, don't hesitate, turn around and leave! !
Fourth, check the qualifications of coaches.
After the negotiation, you can ask the coach to provide coaching qualifications, and the general coach will be very willing to provide you with proof. At the same time, coaches of different organizations are graded. Of course, the higher the grade, the more experienced they are. This can be seen on the diving card.
5. Confirm the price with the coach or club.
The tuition fee should be communicated in advance before class. It is best to find out what the tuition fee includes and whether there are any extra items that need to be paid. It is best to list all the expenses and confirm them. For example, venue fees, makeup fees, equipment rental fees, it is best to choose a hidden store with a paper contract. For example, I have encountered more than 2000 registrations before. After the formal class, it was found that only theoretical classes and swimming pool classes were included, and the cost of open waters needed to be calculated separately. As a result, the whole cost is much higher than other families.
Don't be greedy and cheap! ! What city partner? 0 yuan learned to dive. If you go there, you will be cheated ... Remember, there is no free lunch. Expensive is not necessarily good, good is definitely expensive!
