Why do more and more people like diving
Only officially trained and qualified divers can enter this oldest field.The experience always becomes the experience, the environment of nature is changeable, the charm of the ocean has no end, with the increase of the number of dives, each visit to different diving environment is a new experience.The edge of danger, however, is the thrill and the pleasure, and as long as all procedures are followed, the established plan can cope with sudden changes, and adventure becomes pleasure.

Early divers were mostly military men and men with excellent water and physical abilities.Up to now, diving equipment has been greatly improved, the equipment is safe and reliable, and easy to assemble, as long as the equipment to maintain proper maintenance, can be used for many years without damage, and the probability of underwater equipment failure is very small.Besides, there are so many places to go without going abroad. Because of this, recreational diving has become safer and easier. Therefore, the number of women diving has been growing in recent years.

The myth of learning to dive
1.How can you learn to dive if you can't swim?
"I can't swim! How can I learn to dive?""Yes! You can learn to dive as long as you're not afraid of water, can breathe, and can use your hands and feet properly!"
Diving into the field of the threshold is not high, although left the familiar atmosphere, but using the hand all the equipment from the snorkeling system (mask, snorkel and fins), protective clothing, gas supply system (cylinders and regulator), diving information system (containing various combinations of depth of pressure gauge, table, timing device, ones, thermometer and dive computer tables, etc.), buoyancy control system (include buoyancy compensator and weight), etc., relying on these equipment can help you to free movement in the water, and easily complete the underwater sightseeing.
A high percentage of new students entering the diving field each year cannot swim.With the equipment at hand and the normal learning process, a weekend of pool training and a weekend of ocean practice, you can have basic diving skills and go out with everyone.This is quite different from the general impression.
2. is the tuition so expensive?
Many people come into the diving world with a certain level of concern.In fact, diving is a leisure activity that combines with high technology. Under the guidance of qualified instructors, every diver needs to have the right knowledge, the right skills, the right equipment and the right experience.A complete dive course, in addition to experienced instructors, requires complete teaching materials, high quality training equipment, a standard dive training pool (more than 5 meters deep), and the cost of accommodation, transportation and even sea trips required for ocean practice.Although the price is close to the cost of learning to drive, the cost of a dive center is much higher than that of a driving class.It is recommended that before signing up for scuba diving, check out the options offered by the store and discuss them with the instructor to get the most out of your limited vacation.
3. More equipment?
It's really an awkward question.As the saying goes, "if you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools." it is absolutely necessary for any sport to be able to master it easily.It's as if your tennis racket will work better than a borrowed one, and your bike will ride better than a rented one.But don't get me wrong by saying that learning to dive requires buying equipment.The current concept of diving teaching is to make the diving center can provide a complete teaching content and teaching equipment.As the equipment of the diving center is regularly maintained by specially-assigned personnel, it is used frequently and will be replaced with new ones.Beginners only need to buy a "light pack", a so-called snorkeling system.After all, each person face is different, may have the problem of myopia, and close-fitting cold clothes is to wear their own of course more ideal.Take classes, go to the beach or even go abroad for a vacation. Just hire equipment from a diving center. You don't have to worry about maintenance.Over time if you really have a strong interest in diving activities, it is not too late to buy.
4. Go fishing at sea?
Formal diving coach teaching system will instill students the idea of conservation, although they may not be the use of environmental protection, but in order to keep a beautiful natural environment, let all the people who would like to contact diving are able to enjoy the beautiful scenery at the foot of the sea, we all should choose to love the nature, can take the camera to the water, saw record dribs and drabs.As for the beautiful coral and sea creatures, let them stay where they are.Please remember one sentence, I don't fish, I take pictures!
5. On your own?
In the old days, when diving education was incomplete, learning to dive was like learning a driver's license.But ah ~ car can open, open every day, diving if no one with, no good diving center to provide activities, after getting a diving license is really helpless.Now there is a complete diving center with a complete diving club in addition to teaching.Let students communicate with each other and hold activities regularly.In addition to regular diving activities or diving Tours, we even offer specialized courses in winter when diving is not possible, such as equipment maintenance, the use of diving computer watches, and diving photography courses.In addition, the open water diver license is only the first step in a complete dive education system.There are also a variety of specialty courses that will not only give you the ability to deal with various diving environments, but also allow you to plan your own diving trips and help your friends get into the diving world together.When you get your first license, it's not like you're going to get a foothold.
