Hi guys,

Today I want to talk about one of the best sport activities in the world – scuba diving.

The idea of getting scuba training for certification to start diving is a dream that lots of people have, which is unfortunately shattered by certain rules and regulations that are dependent upon their specific age and location.

As you can easily understand, your body will be placed under unusual amounts of physical and psychological stress when diving.

When you are underwater, there are many situations that can be very dangerous that you must be ready for and be able to handle.

This sport is sometimes riddled with fatalities, making it somewhat unsafe at many times. However, many times the problem can be pinpointed and understood.

That is the main reason why people who get proper training to a more confident in the water are not as susceptible to panicking in dangerous situations. Always plan each dive very carefully and make safety your highest priority.

Scuba training, as you may know, must be done in a confined and very specific environment. Water training always comes after your classroom work which must be completed in advance so you will know exactly what to expect in the water.

You will train and practice your skills in a swimming pool. This is done to make it easier for you to impart what you need to teach, and also maintain optimal safety levels.

Learning how to add and remove your scuba gear in the water is one of the first lessons that must be learned by all aspiring divers.

Additional skills will be clearing your mask if it is filled with water and recovering the regulator if it is dislodged from the mouth. The trainers will also give you very specific lessons on safety protocol and weight management while underwater.

The goal of confined water dives is to be able to successfully accomplish at least five dives in the swimming pool. Each of the five dives that you make will have an increasing level of difficulty which will help you learn more and become more competent as you go along.

Basically, you will have to demonstrate the ability to do more and more things on each and every dive to proceed to the next one. A very difficult task for many novice divers is to learn how to clean the mask while actually submerged in the water. To handle regulator malfunctions underwater, you learn to share yours with a friend and vice versa.

Skills like this can save your life, and that is why they must be practiced in the confined area of a swimming pool prior to diving in the ocean.

If you have specific health problems no accredited scuba training course, run by professionals, will even allow you to start. You could get by without revealing information, since the application process is not the most stringent. If all you had was classroom teaching, your health status wouldn’t really matter.

You will get a form to fill out regarding your health and fitness, and that is all it takes. If you are fine and nothing applies to you, then you sign the form and ready to begin. Common sense should tell you not to sign this form when you are holding back valuable information.

Scuba diving can turn into a lifelong passion if the diving bug bites you. What I really liked best is that this specific sport, unlike many others, does not have to be fast paced which makes it very relaxing. You can learn it at your leisure and on your schedule and this is really great.
