Smart Routines While Scuba Diving Is A Good Idea. Post 9605.13

By Jim Timothys


Just a few years after the turn of the millennium, PADI reported that there were 23 million certified scuba divers around the world.

People that want to learn how to dive will receive their instruction from the Professional Association of Diving Instructors, better known for its acronym PADI. Always find a certified diver that has the official recognition as being a diving instructor who will test and train you appropriately. Once basic training is over, advanced training and instruction is also available so that you can be certified. With enough experience and training, if desired you could become certified as a dive master. In fact, the reason that most people become certified for diving is that they enjoy scuba diving which can be a lifelong sport.

Making proper adjustments so you are at neutral buoyancy are a must for any diver. When considering buoyancy, it will be necessary to think about the wetsuit along with the depth. Your wetsuit will lose buoyancy the deeper you descend due to the bubbles compressing under the added pressure. The closer to the surface you are, the more underweight you will feel. However, the deeper you dive that feeling will change for the reasons just mentioned. When you do a lot of diving, especially in waters that require a wetsuit, it is good to have your own. Owning your own wetsuit would allow you to learn what happens to buoyancy at certain depths. The important thing to keep in mind is that your knowledge plus action on what you learn about scuba diving gear has great potential. We all know how much people like to complain about things, and that is one thing that really hardly ever gets anything done.

The best results will be from taking action on hard core facts, and then also seeing what can be done in other ways in a creative fashion. So just keep going forward with the second part, and there will be more solid information that you can do some good things with.

Learning how to breathe, or what is called breath control, while wearing your scuba gear, can take a little while to master. It is very important to learn how to breathe efficiently underwater and it is much more difficult than many initially think. For one thing, never hold your breath when you are diving. There is no reason to do that, and it will also play a little havoc with your buoyancy. Beginners will also, for a variety of reasons, begin to breathe very quickly which can cause them to get lightheaded and even faint. These are just a few of the issues that are indicative of improper breathing and lack of buoyancy.

Many divers will agree that a night dive is a wonderful experience, though it can be very frightening the first time that you do it. Before doing a night dive, there are a few things you need to be aware of. With night diving in particular, it is usually recommended that you only go to an area that you know very well. Diving in locations such as these can give you a visual treat since you are perceiving familiar locations in a completely different manner. Diving at night will provide you with a completely new sensation, one that does not occur when diving in the daytime. Night dives are well known for making people believe they are in a location that they have never seen yet they have been there many times before.

No matter how good you are diving, never become complacent about your abilities which may lead to a dangerous scenario. What will happen is you will start to believe that you know what will occur before it does, or that you can handle situations no matter what is happening. By becoming this way, you may run into problems. Having this state of mind can cause you to become less concerned with safety issues than you should be which is not good for you or anyone that you are diving with.
