Diving Tips


By Ronaldo Aristokawa Xavier


You might become completely overwhelmed by first realizing the skill required, and the information involved in the scuba training course. The speed at which you learn will be set by your own determining. You can take online courses and study them as long as you want. Your diving, both open water and confined, will be supervised training with an instructor. Each student will be given a professional evaluation after being observed by the instructor. Your scuba training instructor will not sign-off on you if there is any doubt about your ability. People have been diving for a long time, so you can be comfortable that the knowledge you are learning comes from solid science.

Open water diving, especially in the ocean, requires a certain level of competency, something that most beginners must have before diving. Competency in the pool may not be the same as operating in the open ocean, something that your instructor will be closely watching. During your scuba training you are required to dive in a river, lake, quarry and of course the deep blue ocean.

All trainees need to feel confident that their instructor will be with them every step of the way. People that receive an open water certification card will have passed every aspect of the diving training. This card is your ticket to renting equipment to do your diving anyplace in the world. Dry suit diving is one of the advanced courses that are available for when you have completed the open water certification. Depending on your diving needs, or rather interests, this specialty course might be of interest to you. A dry suit must have some use, but what is it, and who would want to wear one? Colder water that you are diving into, will be sealed out when you are wearing a dry suit. You do not need to suffer while diving in really cold water, if you are being protected with a dry suit. Diving opportunities come about in many places, and some times it is where the water is much colder. Commercial divers have to be prepared for going where the job is, even if it is in colder water.

Once you have gone through your five successful dives, and practiced your underwater skills, your trainers will move you to the ocean. This segment of your training will require you to show a minimal amount of understanding in regard to open water skills that are part of the curriculum. You will be required to swim 200 yards, without any gear, to start this segment of your training. You will then be asked to put on your snorkel, mask, and the fins that you brought with you and go about 300 yards or meters for the next segment of the training. Finally, you will have to tread water for at least 10 minutes. The only test that is not timed, however, is the distance swim.

Competence in neutral buoyancy is one of the most useful for divers. We recommend that all divers learn this and PADI provides a class called the Peak Performance Buoyancy Course. At the time you are under water you will not sink or float when you are neutrally weightless. For this reason skilled divers look so elegant underneath the water, and they will go swimming without the use of their arms. You are the most resourceful when you are neutrally buoyant since the least air/gas you use will enable you to have dives that last longer. Everything about learning how to do this is positive and good. Don't delay in making it a realism if you have been thinking about scuba training. Keep in mind that for diving you need to make sure you are in good physical condition. Look for a nearby school where you can get your certification once you have been given the okay by your physician. Examine the trainings carefully so you will be given the greatest education possible.

If you'd like to experience some unbelievable diving, then you have got to take a trip to Aruba. This might be the most famous spot on the planet for diving. Seek advice from your own tour operator to learn more.
