🌊🌊 Under the Sea 🌊🌊
Dive now, work later!
Definition: Scuba diving is a form
of underwater diving in which a diver uses a self contained underwater
breathing apparatus to breathe underwater. Unlike other modes of diving,
which rely either on breath-hold or on air pumped from the surface,
scuba divers carry their own source of breathing gas, allowing them
greater freedom of movement than with an air line or diver's umbilical
and longer underwater endurance than breath-hold. Scuba equipment may be
open circuit, in which exhaled gas is exhausted to the surroundings, or
closed or semi-closed circuit, in which the breathing gas is scrubbed to
remove carbon dioxide, and the oxygen used is replenished from a supply
of feed gas before being re-breathed. A scuba diver usually moves around
underwater by using swimfins attached to the feet, but external
propulsion can be provided by a diver propulsion vehicle, or a sled
pulled from the surface.

Breathing - optimising your air consumption
During a dive, you breathe in and tend to breathe out slower which reduces the heart rate, promoting calmness. Steady breathing also reduces the risk of a lung-expansion injury as well as reduces mucus build up and has actually been known to help with existing conditions such as asthma. -
Healing Effects of the Water
The water has many healing effects, one of which is the way it brings you back to feeling like you are in your mother’s womb. This promotes feelings of security, well-being and happiness. In addition, being in salt water for long periods of time can cause your body to dehydrate meaning that you tend to drink a lot more after the dive which means that you are replenishing your cells, receiving all of the benefits of water both externally and internally. -
A Great Stress Reliever
When we breathe throughout a dive, we tend to breathe slowly and deeply, similar to the breathing we do whilst meditating. All problems are forgotten during a dive. Having this ‘time out’ gives the body a chance to rest and bring their body and nervous system back to a natural balance. -
Socializing Benefits
When you go diving, you are paired up with a buddy. People from all cultures get together and share a common passion. This is a great way to make new acquaintances. - and so many more...
Reasons why you need to try Scuba Diving
The very first feeling you experience while scuba diving is the absolute
freedom. You are freed from gravity. You feel weightless as if you are
flying. It allows you to move freely underwater and makes you feel part
of the marine life.
It is a priceless experience!

Bottlenose Dolphin 🐬
Special encounter while scuba diving
If you are very lucky you might even spot a Dolphin. The bottlenose dolphins are thought to be some of the smartest animals on Earth. Using echolocation a Dolphin can tell the shape, size, speed, distance, and location of an object. Bottlenose dolphins also have a sharp sense of hearing. They are very social and playful mammals and form friendships that last decades hunting, mating and protecting each other. They can swim up to 35 km an hour. Bottlenose dolphins are found worldwide in temperate and tropical waters and are frequently seen in harbors, bays, lagoons, estuaries, and river mouths. More information

Nurse sharks 🦈
Friendly diving companions
Nurse sharks are slow-moving bottom-dwellers and are, for the most
part, harmless to humans. However, they can be huge (up to 4.3m) have
very strong jaws filled with thousands of tiny, serrated teeth, and
will bite defensively if stepped on or bothered by divers who assume
they’re docile. But do not worry as long as you are not harmful to the
animal they will leave you in peace. 😉 Nurse sharks are found in the
warm, shallow waters of the western Atlantic and eastern Pacific
oceans.
