Is diving in Semporna, Malaysia worth it?

Brave people enjoy the world first. I think I will always remember this day. 🤿 About diving certificates 🔹Open Water (OW): The first step for beginners Learn the basics of diving, including the use of diving equipment; get familiar with diving equipment and practice some basic diving skills; finally, you will have field diving training, applying the skills you have learned in real open water. Get it done in three days and five dives! 🥰🥰🥰 We chose White Pearl, and the instructor was very serious and responsible. ☑️ Certificate holders can dive <18 meters, age >10 years old 🤿 FAQs 1⃣️ Can I get a diving certificate if I can't swim? Yes, but if you are very afraid of water or even have a fear of the deep sea, it is recommended not to consider a diving certificate for now. 2⃣️ Do I need to prepare my own diving suit? No, the dive shop will provide all the equipment needed for diving. If you are worried about getting tanned, you can bring your own long-sleeved and long-legged rash guard. 3⃣️ What if I am nearsighted? Can I wear glasses? Many diving instructors are nearsighted and can wear prescription masks. 🥽 4⃣️ How many days does it take to get a certificate? The Open Water (OW) course takes at least 3 days to complete, and the Advanced Open Water (AOW) course takes 2 days. 5⃣️ How to protect yourself from the sun? Buy sunscreen 🧴 that does not contain octocrylene and oxybenzone to avoid adverse effects on the environment. 🏝 [Semporna's Most Beautiful Diving Islands] 1.
