Scuba of course

All you have ever wanted to know, and maybe a few things you did not know you wanted to know! Scuba of Course!

 

Wherever you do your Scuba Diving in the world - and there are many places to choose from - the basic principles are the same in relation to safe diving and pleasure.

Yes! It is possible to have both! We will take you through the basics, as well as exploring the hidden depth for you, to guide you through what can be an exhilarating pastime. 

Our main writer is a PADI Master Instructor , so all the information on these pages will be from actual experience - not simply copied from other websites.

Whilst 'Scuba Diving' may conjure up some James Bond type thoughts - and why not - Scuba is an easy sport or pastime to get into, wherever you live in the world. There are some exceptions of course, but scuba facilities are available seemingly wherever there are people! So, to help you find a scuba diving facility near you, we intend to build the biggest resource of scuba sites on the web. Just watch this space!

Where?

Anywhere there is water - or so it seems - there will be provision for scuba diving - either organised or ad hoc!  In The UK, these Scuba Places will give you a start - For the USA try here for Scuba Places|  Everywhere Else for Scuba Places. Basically you can do your diving most anywhere in the world. If you want to know where to start - or get your first introduction, we have pages of information about that also.

When?

Up to you - All year round in warmer places, and even the Atlantic winter has attractions for some! You are only restricted by you locale and enthusiasm for scuba.

Why?

Because it is exhilarating - yet relaxing. It certainly helps you to focus your attention on the 'task' in hand. The best way to actually show you why to scuba, is to get you started on a course and experience it at first hand. Not as difficult as you might think.

Who?

Anyone over the age of eight officially - the upper age limit is up to you and your general health. See here to discover Scuba Diving For Children. See here for Beginners to Scuba. It is of course, always recommended to take a dive buddy with you. Who can teach scuba is also a VERY important subject, and we have pages devoted to the different scuba courses.

What?

Scuba diving is a new world. A world that yet remains largely unexplored, and one full of surprises. (Most of them pleasant!) Throughout these pages we will tell you what to expect when scuba diving, what it will cost and of course what to wear.

How?

The best way to start scuba, is to look up your local dive centre - there are many - and just talk it through. You will get hooked - but conversely to a fish being landed - yours will be a reversal of that process, as you get played 'into' the underwater world.
How dangerous is it, how deep can you go, how to do it? All the answers are here on this site.
