Diving

What is diving?
In 1943, the famed oceanographer Jacques Cousteau, along with Emile Gagnan, invented the aqualung, more commonly referred to as SCUBA. Scuba Diving is a form of Diving which enables a person to breathe underwater and stay for longer periods through the use of an independent breathing apparatus. (Self-contained underwater breathing apparatus). SCUBA made divers more mobile and revolutionized exploration of the oceans. Since then, many advances in SCUBA technology have made the equipment easier to use, safer and more affordable, allowing many people to enjoy this fascinating adventure. The Professional Association of Diving Instructors (PADI) certified approximately 1-million people for recreational SCUBA diving. You can undertake weekend outings to explore offshore shipwrecks and coral reefs or go on longer dive vacations to exotic locations, perhaps meeting such creatures as sharks, dolphins and whales.

People of almost all ages can enjoy this sport and recreation. There are many different type of diving that you can try.
