Instead, you wear fins that help you swim. Your BCD (buoyancy control device) helps you stay balanced in the water, and your regulator lets you breathe underwater.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even someone who has never learned to swim can often move comfortably underwater with scuba gear.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The swim and float test is included in certification courses for safety reasons. It prepares you for situations that can happen on the surface. For example, you may need to stay afloat while waiting for the boat, swim back to the boat if you surface too far away, or remain calm while dealing with a problem.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These situations are not part of a Try Dive.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During an introductory dive, you stay in shallow water and remain with your instructor the entire time.
