Without it you will not be able to dive and it is not recommended to take any risks otherwise. Learn the fundamentals with the NAUI study guide and training video, then take your knowledge and test it in the safety of a swimming pool before ever entering the open water. Your training precedes many open water dives on the reef where you get the real taste of the dive experience.

SCUBA Diving Info

WALL DIVING

In diving terms, a wall means a steep plunge of the seabed, going down for many meters. Many divers find this the best way to go diving, since many fish live and feed off the wall. The vastness of the blue water above and beyond the wall is a thrilling feeling! Underwater cameras are for sale at very reasonable prices or can be rented for the occasion, allowing you to make some great pictures to take home with you and show your friends.

 


WRECK DIVING

The next most popular dive type is wreck diving. Let your imagination run free and add to the mysteriousness of these age-old wrecks lying at the bottom of the sea. Where was the captain's cabin? What caused the ship to sink? Was it a war ship? You may prefer to read about the wreck you're about to explore beforehand. You can always ask your diving center to provide you with the information you want. Once down there, you'll also find numerous fish in and around the wreck since most wrecks serve as a plentiful source of food, with a large variety of marine vegetation thriving in the area.

 


NIGHT DIVING

In addition to reef diving, night diving is also very popular. Reefs look completely different at night. The combination of spectacular reefs combined with the adventure taking place at night will give you a thrill you'll never forget! An underwater torch will enable you to get a clearer look at all there is to see.

 


REEF DIVING

This is by far the most popular type of diving. Depending on where you planned your dive, you'll be able to see corals of all shapes and sizes and in all colors; shipwrecks and rock formations. Each place you choose to go diving has its own uniqueness and every time you go, will be different from the last.

 

The fact that after a dive even the most professional and experienced divers still come out of the water with new and interesting experiences speaks for itself!

You might have one niggling question: "Great fun, but what about sharks?". Sharks are often portrayed in movies as vicious and aggressive man-eaters. In reality, however, sharks keep to themselves and the chances of getting injured by a shark are much less than the chances of being struck by lightning! It's good to learn sharks prefer to keep to themselves and don't bother you as long you don't bother them. Other dangerous fish will leave you alone if you leave them alone. Sharks are more like scavengers than predators, and it is very rare to get injured by marine animals. Accidents only happen if the animal feels it has to defend itself because it is being provoked in some way by divers. The golden rule for divers is to dive sensibly and responsibly. Some corals and sponges may be harmful but this will only be the case if you touch them. In case you accidentally touch or scrape one, your dive master can quite easily treat the sting with an ointment he will carry with him to the diving location.
