Scuba Tips
Through all my years in diving and talking to people, I’ve come to the conclusion … if you’re interested in learning to scuba dive, your first open water dive is the most important. By this I mean, you get ‘hooked’ to scuba diving because your dive conditions were ‘perfect’. You feel the warmth on your skin, no strong wind, great visibility underwater, you feel great and your equipment is working fine! However, even though this would be the ultimate, you still want to prepare for the unknown. Your ‘perfect dive conditions’, desire could suddenly change and now you have a cold.. your sinuses are bothering you. Now what?
If you have doubts about learning to scuba dive because you have the fear of sharks, not feeling comfortable under water, etc. .. I have great tips and advice to help you on all this.
I have created these tips based on my experiences and experiences of my fellow divers to help you avoid accidents and discomforts. I want you to have the best experiences ever, while scuba diving. Tips, no matter what they are on, help us prepare for situations.
