Scuba diving involves risk

Scuba diving and related activities (snorkeling, freediving) carry inherent risks, including decompression sickness, lung overexpansion injuries, drowning, and injuries from marine life, boats and equipment. These risks can result in serious injury or death.

Not a substitute for training

The information on this website is for general educational purposes only. Reading about diving does not qualify you to dive. Always learn from a qualified, currently certified instructor through a recognised training agency, and dive only within the limits of your training, experience and certification.

Not medical advice

Content about health, fitness, medication and medical conditions is general information and is not medical advice. Only a qualified physician, preferably one trained in diving and hyperbaric medicine, can assess your fitness to dive. Always complete the diver medical questionnaire honestly, and seek medical advice when required. In a diving emergency, contact local emergency services and a diving emergency hotline (such as DAN) immediately.

Information may change

Prices, seasons, water temperatures, park rules, visa requirements, operator standards and travel safety conditions change over time. Figures on this site are typical ranges intended to help with planning. Always confirm current information with operators and official sources, and check your government's travel advice before visiting any destination.

No endorsement

Mentions of dive centres, agencies, destinations, organisations or products do not constitute endorsement unless explicitly stated. Advertisements displayed on the site are provided by third parties.

Your responsibility

You are responsible for your own safety and decisions. By using this website, you agree that Scuba Complete Guide and its authors are not liable for any injury, loss or damage resulting from the use of information on this site. See also our Terms of Use.
