I love scuba diving. So why do I do it? What, you ask are the benefits of scuba diving? I am here to share with you several to try to lure you into becoming as addicted as I am.
First of all, almost anyone can scuba dive. You do not have to be fast, tall, muscular or have great hand-eye coordination. All of the certifying entities will require you to provide a medical release before you can begin classes. You will also need to be comfortable in the water, not necessarily a great swimmer but able to move yourself through the water.
Additionally, diving affects one physiologically, spiritually, and psychologically. Water is the great equalizer as everyone experiences the effects of buoyancy the same. It does not matter if you are physically impaired or the strongest person in the world. The water removes the confined of gravity and you become able to move in all directions. You can literally fly underwater in this weightless environment. This is such a peaceful state to experience, for me it is as close as I can get to God while still being alive. Scuba diving opens up this completely new world to us. Often you will hear divers discuss the incredible creatures they encountered after each of their dives. Scuba diving begins to become a nature treasure hunt as one always looks to see the greatest number and diversity of sea creatures. In no other sport can you completely immerse yourself and have an intimate experience with a vast amount of plant and animal life. For me, scuba diving can be a completely relaxing experience or it can become a challenge to conquer. Depending upon where you dive, your exposure protection becomes vital. Lastly, I hope you enjoyed reads my short story.
