Enjoy Scuba Diving in the Clear Water and Have a Blast in Your Holidays
Scuba diving may be the only way to
explore the incredible underwater world, getting close to the mysteries and
secrets of this aquatic universe with its incredibly exciting and diverse people. Floating under the azure waters, you're in an
ethereal–often violent–climate, with limited air supply on your back and only
your fellow divers as your lifelines. Scuba diving has evolved over the years
and decades into a non-competitive yet extremely exciting underwater activity.
You must get trained first by enrolling in scuba
diving courses before hitting the waters for your safety
SCUBA is the short form of'
Self-contained Breathing Apparatus Underwater.' It was developed for the French
Navy during World War II by the world-famous underwater explorer and
conservationist, Jacques-Yves Cousteau (with more than a little help from Emilee
Gagnan), in the mid-1940's. Nevertheless, after the war, diving became a
recreational sport that has since been taken over by millions around the world.
Current scuba diving equipment
comprises of one (or more) gas cylinder, attached to the back of the diver.
This gas tank is connected to an air hose and the demand (or diving) valve-this
latter system regulates the air flow, so the air pressure in the diver's lungs
is the same as the water pressure. The buoyancy control device (BCD),
essentially an inflatable jacket which regulates your buoyancy by adding or
removing air, is among other gear / equipment used in diving.
Corals and marine life have to be
protected as national treasures. Corals are fragile living organisms too, so
please follow the' Green Coral Code' when you go diving:
·
Do not reach or step on live coral-it's going
to die.
·
Try to keep your feet away from the reefs as
much as possible when carrying fins; a jump from your flipper would likely
result in an unexpected water splash, which is sure to permanently damage the
coral.
·
Try and manage the fall when diving; a hard
landing on the corals will kill them.
There are a few strong scuba diving courses
at international level in the country; please thoroughly check the operator's
qualifications, whether the instructors are PADI (or equivalent) accredited and
whether the equipment available is of good quality in Bali
idc.
A reasonable command of English is
helpful, as the courses involve a fundamental understanding of physics,
physiology, environment, etc. The standard swimming level is 10 years-there is
no upper limit (the minimum age for some divers is 14 years).
You can strive to receive the minimum'
one star' certification which takes around 4-5 days
