Scuba Diving

Have you ever wondered if the ocean really looks like what you see on TV? Let me tell you, it does.

Once you have done your first dive, your adventure has just begun. There is so much to see under water that it is never ending. The most fascinating things are the old ship wrecks, a lot of man made reefs and plane wrecks down in the sea. And the different fish and plants, there are more than you can imagine. You wonder how those plants can grow submerged under water, but your house plants die when you over water them.

I have gone diving in lakes and in the ocean, and my favorite is the ocean. To me the lakes are very boring. With the ocean, it is so colorful and worth the time to investigate.

I was 40 years old, when I decided to take scuba diving lessons. I was one that was terrified of water, from a early childhood experience. My husband was already certified to dive and wanted me to learn so I could be his buddy and dive with him. I was scared to death, so he decided to get me into private class. I didn't know how to swim at the time. Before too long I had gone through the class and was on my way to my open water dives.

I wouldn't suggest you go diving unless you have gone to classes and get certified. And if you haven't gone in a while, take a refresher class. You can even go online and take a class. I would rather see people go to a real class with a real instructor. You learn more and can ask questions if you need to The classes are interesting. They teach you all about your BC, air tanks, gauges, and all the other things you need to know. You will begin learning a lot of your diving in a swimming pool, and when you have completed all the exercises, you will do two open water dives in the ocean. Then you get your certification, can dive when you want.
