If you want to go scuba diving, here is a list of things you should know before doing it:
1. Choose a good day:
Scuba Diving is extensively affected by climate conditions. Aquatic currents are developed by waves and they make it difficult to reach the point of immersion. If the conditions are negative, then try another day. You should avoid compromising in such a situation.
2. Get all your doubts clear:
You should avoid going underwater with suspicions in your mind because once you are underwater, then you will not be able to communicate. You must learn what you should do at any time, the protocols, and all essential rules and regulations. To secure your safety, ask everything from your guide whatever is there in your mind. Do not hesitate!
3. Remember to breathe:
Remember to breathe continuously, because you have an oxygen cylinder on your back. Some circumstances may occur when your nerves or impulse may make you keep from holding your breath while you dive. But just concentrate on inhaling and exhaling your breath slowly as if you were on land. Never hold your breath for your safety!
4. Believe your instinct:
We, humans, are reasonable and can distinguish instinctively, when something is not going as scheduled. In case of any suspicion, examine the situation and reach out to your guide.
5. Look but don’t touch:
The fundamental rule of underwater is to look at everything but touch nothing. Even if you want to touch it. There are different fishes, seaweed, aquatic animals and many more about which you do not know. Be cautious!
6. Do not rush:
Do not be in a rush to return to the surface. You can damage your lungs because of encountering a sudden transformation in pressure while doing so. You should rise a bit slower than the section of bubbles released with each exhalation of air.
7. Don’t move excessively:
In comparison with air, water is approximately 800 times denser. Thus, any movement implies much more effort. Try not to move too extensively so that you don’t get exhausted fast, and some air is also saved.
8. Be a good partner:
You only have one another under the water. And hence try to be a good diving partner. Know your restrictions as well as your partner’s, diving level, health status, underwater communication, equipment status, and all other essentials.
9. Be prepared:
Safe driving includes outstanding physical fitness and personality. It is important that you maintain a positive attitude under the water and also be able to regulate your nerves in case you come across any difficulty. Make sure you’re mentally and physically sound before diving.
10. Double-check the equipment:
Make sure that you double-check your as well as your partner’s equipment before the dive. Also, make sure that the neoprene and glasses adjust appropriately with your body. Do not miss out on necessary things.
