Swimming would help... you do have to get back up to the surface.

SCUBA: Yes -- you need to have some basic water skills. Before you dive, you must be certified. Any certification program I am aware of requires a swim test. These are not onerous but you are required to be able to ttread water for a period of time as well as to swim a minimum distance.
DIVING: Yes. You leave the spring board or platform and land in deep water. While it is not a long distance, you need to be able to swim to the ladder.
