Five things you should never do when Scuba Diving

New to Scuba Diving? Discover the Wonders of the Underwater World Safely

Scuba diving is an exciting adventure that unveils the beauty of the underwater world. However, following safety guidelines and knowing what to do (and what to avoid) is essential.

1. Always Dive with a Plan

The saying “Plan your dive and dive your plan” is fundamental in scuba diving. A well-thought-out dive plan is key to a safe experience. Modern dive computers calculate maximum depth and dive duration, but a reputable dive center and guide can help ensure a safe, enjoyable dive by providing this information based on experience.

2. Know Your Comfort Level

Never push beyond your comfort zone. If you’re feeling unsure or uneasy, don’t hesitate to cancel the dive. Scuba diving should always stay within your training and comfort level. Expand your limits gradually with training and experience.

3. Don’t Hold Your Breath

When ascending, never hold your breath. As you ascend, air spaces like your lungs expand. Holding your breath can trap expanding air, risking a pulmonary embolism. Breathe continuously and ascend slowly to stay safe.

4. Dive with a Buddy

Diving with a buddy offers both safety and support. While diving solo is allowed with proper certification, diving with a buddy ensures someone is there to help if needed.

5. Respect Marine Life

Be mindful of marine life by avoiding physical contact and refraining from chasing or disturbing underwater creatures. Observing respectfully preserves the beauty of the ocean for everyone.
