Make sure you have good diving equipment
If you are going to dive for the first time then you can either borrow or hire a suit from the dive centre where you are going to do your training. The diving school can also advise you on the diving equipment you need and tell you where to buy it if you want to have your own diving equipment. But IDD would not be IDD if we did not already give you a helping hand. We like to explain to you what to look for in a diving equipment. How to put on a suit, etc.. In our webshop you can also find some articles. Not a complete diving suit, because a diving suit should fit like a glove and you should not buy that online, unless you know exactly what you need.

Diving is something you have to experience in real life. That is the most fun. But you can already get excited in the IDD World of Diving. You can see the most beautiful photos and videos and read about which dive sites in the Netherlands and the rest of the world are beautiful and special.

For two decades, Marc Kochzius, marine biologist at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel, has been studying the distribution patterns of corals. Perhaps his findings can offer coral reefs a chance of survival.
