Participants in the First Time Diver Scuba Experience cannot fly in an airplane within 24 hours of their dive.

Jun 2024If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy.
