I dont know how to swim, and when I go into the deep end. I get fearful of drowning, what is a good way to overcome this?

DevonDiver:There is no training agency that permits non-swimmers to undertake scuba training.
DevonDiver:Are you aware that all agencies incorporate a mandatory swimming assessment into their entry-level scuba training courses? For instance, to certify with PADI, you will need to conduct a 200m un-timed swim (without stopping or resting) and a 'survival float'. If you can't achieve those, you won't be permitted to continue the course and you won't get certified.
