Not swimming, but not afraid of water, it will be very simple. If you can not swim, and afraid of water, it may be more difficult, but there are still a lot of people who can not swim, after learning to dive, but also learn simple swimming.
Because when diving, control buoyancy, will use the buoyancy controller, or BCD. Breathing, using a regulator and a gas cylinder to breathe in the water, as long as breathing, diving will not be a problem. Of course, the class will teach various skills, suitable for everyone to learn.
Can't swim, still can dive. Diving is not as difficult as swimming, but it is the opposite. Is it possible to float, not because you can swim, but because you can use scuba gear?.
