Beach dives, while shallower than boat dives are more physically demanding. All beach dives require swimming on the surface, through the surf and out @100 -200 yards.. You need to feel comfortable in the ocean, be in good physical shape and be a good swimmer. We also recommend having dive insurance from agencies such as DAN.
