Scuba
diving is popular, scuba diving is easy and scuba diving is fun!!!
Over 70% of
the earth's surface is covered with water. The allure and mystery of
the underwater world has inspired the human imagination since
prehistory, from the mythological monsters described by seafaring
people, to the science fiction of Jules Verne and the modern
underwater adventures in Hollywood films. Breath-hold diving,
dangerous though it can be, has been used to collect pearls, sponges
and valuable commodities from the sea floor for many generations
Advances in
underwater exploration began nearly three centuries ago using diving
bells and large cumbersome sealed suits using pumped air from the
surface. Only very recently advances in technology and mechanics have
allowed people to visit this domain safely for exploration using
comfortable, self-contained air delivery systems.
Today, scuba
diving is accessible to almost anyone with only a modest investment in
equipment. Anywhere you want to dive you can usually find a dive shop
near-at-hand to rent tanks, go on a guided dive with a master diver,
take a chartered boat or just strap on the tanks and swim out from the
shore
Scuba dining
is an amazing feeling and is as close as a person can get to being
weightless without going into space.
