Water is a good source to stay cool in summer. Many people travel towards the coastal area for a good sun bath and to enjoy the sand and water but many people think of enjoying underwater with different types of fish, exploring the marine life through scuba diving. Anyone interested in scuba diving should seek out certified scuba diving program/school that would afford opportunity where they can learn how to dwell underwater with new fellow members, as they provide scuba diving courses for beginners to intermediates.
This sport has some limitation because of the danger involved in it. Only a person who is well trained and certified by the authority is allowed to scuba dive. A certified scuba school should help a person to gain scuba diving certification and enjoy the experience of scuba diving. To become a scuba diver you must complete proper training and be issued a scuba diving certification, a.k.a. a “c-card”. Your training takes place under the instruction and supervision of a certified and insured scuba diving instructor. This instructor has professional training and credentials with one or more scuba diving training/certification agencies. There are several of these agencies worldwide and they are often referred to by their acronyms. Here are just some of the scuba training/certification agencies:
PADI, SSI, NAUI, SDI, SEI, IDEA, PDIC, IANTD, GUE, PSAI, CMAS, BSAC, and L.A. County to name a few.
Enrolling at school of scuba is easy. One just has to fill some necessary forms with medical form and the scuba diving lessons starts.
What ever school of scuba diving you select they should employ all experienced PADI certified instructors, trained in both skills and character and who have been diving and teaching for years all over the world and able share their experience of underwater kingdom with scuba diving students. The same instructor(s) should be comfortable in imparting their knowledge about scuba diving and makes you feel comfortable in open water. You should select a scuba diving program whose focus is on the beginner and intermediate scuba diving courses; and they give extra time, patience and guidance. The scuba school should offer a complete facilities for diving lessons. They should monitor strict instruction standards for beginners and for the instructor training. The lessons should include the basic safe diving, plan before dive, and use of diving equipment. There are few jobs where scuba divers are being used:
Exploring marine life: Scuba divers are used for scientific purpose to experiment or for inspection and survey on marine life.
Navy: They use divers for repair or construction of ship. They also have a section of divers known as combatant.
Constructions: Scuba divers are used for underwater construction such as bridge, platform etc.
People now are opting for scuba diving courses as a part of their hobby but not for job purpose. One can use this skill for underwater photography or fish identification. But still scuba diving is one of the most dangerous sport, so it is recommended to take proper lessons and certification.
There are few requirements that every candidate should fulfill when applying for scuba diving courses:
- Person should be fit to swim.
- Person should be able to swim 200 yards with any stroke.
- Person must be able to float on water for at least 10 minutes.
It takes approximately three days for the beginners to learn diving with the scuba equipment which is purchased from the school. A certified scuba school will have a staff on hand to help you select the best brand of diving equipment and gear and also has its own online shop of equipment like masks, fins, dive watches, etc. For the students and for the travelers who are planning for a scuba dive holiday, some facilities will also offer holiday package.
For any travel vacation, it’s extremely important to travel with like-minded people. Life is too short to travel with people who is not of the same general mind set.
