When we talk about diving, we mean a young and perspective kind of active leisure. In the world it has become popular about twenty years ago – previously there were swimming sections but they are not the same thing. Nowadays there are various training programs of the art of water immersion – from scuba diving (trial lesson about 30 minutes) to a full diving training course (theory and practice in the swimming pool and later in the open water).
First – diving training is compulsory, whereas theory and practice are equally important. You must do what you understand, mind the safety rules and so on. Are you sure that you will be able to learn all the related information on your own?
Diving should be carried out under the supervision of an instructor: first in the swimming pool, then in the open water. You can practice diving on your own only after a series of trainings – you don’t start driving a car right after reading the rules, same here, what is more diving on a significant depth can be dangerous.
Swimming perfectly in one place doesn’t mean excellent diving everywhere. There are regional peculiarities and differences that cannot be ignored.
Not all diving centers will accept your certificate, especially if you received it in an unknown school. Mind this to prevent unpleasant surprises.
In conclusion we would like to say that diving is rather a way of life than a sport. If you are interested in this active leisure, finish a diving training course in AHLA DIVE, get a certificate and open a wonderful underwater world to yourself.
