Diving – Is it safe?
Diving can be a dangerous sport if you do not take a 'be safe always "Approach to entering the water. Has much to do with his personality at the end of the day. It will be as safe as you want it to be, even in times of extreme weather conditions or the conditions water. is important to always be alert. Like crossing the street, unless they take precautions and follow the simple rules you've learned as a child, accidents can happen anytime anywhere!
Get certified by a recognized professional
Many new divers do not prove that the center they are learning, especially when visiting remote sites in Asia, his diving instruction is received from a title = "Diving Center"> organized and directed professional center. There is often a presumption that all diving centers have undergone appropriate checks, the controls and certification. Unfortunately, there are many who profess to be qualified to instruct, but to save costs, have not received the authentication of the professional bodies PADI or SDI has strict rules and requirements for all dive operators. Do not miss this first check always when you walk in. ask you to see proof of certification.
Be a medical certificate for diving
Consult your doctor before signing statement diving. No one else should care to ensure their safety as you are! And nobody is going to be what I feel as if there are accidents or problems when you dive. Get the physical control and if necessary, obtain a letter from their doctor authorizing learn to dive.
Be aware of the diving conditions and their own proficiency
Sometimes it's best to follow your instinct. If you feel the currents are too strong, or you do not feel well, stop the dive, immediately inform your partner and ascend together. Do not try to attempt to dive if you feel uncomfortable. We have seen many experienced divers dives leave due to strong currents, and that has saved them and their group of diving a lot of problems.
Never dive into the ground or environments that are not certified for
For cave diving, make night dives or penetrate the wrecks, you should have received proper training and certification before attempting them. There are techniques to be learn to be safe for such specialty dives. Choose from a wide range of courses "> Speciality courses that regularly conducts krabidivers.com that is of interest to you, and you find that you will be much safer each time you dive wreck or cave next.
Be prepared to say no to a dive
If you are uncomfortable or unsafe, even after they have begun to decline or are through immersion, fine to cancel the dive and come back another day when conditions are more favorable. This does not mean you are not a good diver – INFACT very often, is the smart diver who knows – the best know when to say "No thanks, I'll sit out this one."
Never dive alone
Regardless of experience level, you should never dive alone. If you lose your buddy during a dive, look around for no more than one or two minutes. If you still can not find your friend, you must complete the dive and make your way to the surface. Not only will it be safer for you, also give you comfort your friend is watching out for it too.
Get ready for a dip and
The night before a dive trip, provided should be well rested and hydrated by drinking plenty of water. And you should not have a night of heavy drinking as alcohol causes dehydration. Dehydration contributes to many diseases related to diving.
Always check your dive gear before each dive (especially for rental equipment!)
Before you go on every dive, Always check all your scuba gear again. Make sure that the regulator and hoses are working well, no leaks, the BCD inflates well and your tank has appropriate level of air. Do not assume that just because you've returned from a dive safe and sound, using the same set of diving equipment will not cause any problem in the next immersion. Many stores have rental equipment that may not have been repaired or for very long. You should check all equipment, rental or your own, well before each simple immersion.
Choose a partner who dives like you
While choosing a partner who plunges as you can not be an option many times, always good to know your teammates before you dive together. Ask simple questions like how many times has dived, where he dived when his last dive was and how good it is in the use of air. This will help you anticipate problems can also have your partner during the dive. Diving are sometimes more enjoyable when you have a good friend, who shares with you the sights that comes through steps and well with you throughout the dive.
Drink plenty of water
Diving can be very dehydrating a sport. Make sure that before each dive, you have plenty of water. I always do a point to take a glass of water just before jumping into the water. This always helped me to stay well hydrated throughout the dive for the next 45-60 minutes.
Pay attention during a pre-conference diving
Dive briefings are important to help you understand what to expect when in the water. Its guide will explain about diving in the field, what you should expect to see as well as yourself the best way to browse the site for one dive dive more enjoyable. It will also help to anticipate changes in the ground so that no surprises.
Be aware of sympthoms of hypothermia, heat exhaustion and dehydration
Watch all the sympthoms as you are your best judge of whether the dip cause any problems. It is always better to be safe and not I'm sorry, so look out for tingling sensations, nausea, dizziness, numbness and any other sensations that make you feel uncomfortable. Tell your partner diving and / or immersion guidance on this subject, and stop the dive and start your ascent to the surface.
Respect for marine life
All title = "Marine Life"> marine life needs to be respected, not just the big things. Be very aware of your surroundings and the coral and fish life that you surroundings. Do not touch anything as far as possible, especially if you are unsure if you are toxic. Remember, the sea belongs to marine life and we are the visitors!

Scuba diving is as safe as any other sport. As divers, we have a responsibility to the environment, other divers and, above all, to ourselves to ensure safety and conservation.
