Scuba diving Last year, I tried a new hobby : scuba diving. Since then, I went 35 times underwater and discovered so many amazing things! Now I would like to share my experiences with you. First of all, scuba diving is not an activity you can improvise with. Security is very important. In fact, if you want to dive you will need to pass some exams. There is several certification level you can pass from various organisation (PADI, CMAS, CEDIP). Those exams have pretty much the same purpose : teach how to dive safely between the boundaries defined by the certificating organisation. You can start diving easily by passing the first exam of PADI organisation named "Open Water Diver" which can be obtained after 6 dives. After passing you exam, you will start to discorer underwater like you never have seen it. A normal dive is about 40 minutes, plenty of time to observe fishes, corals, wrecks, rays, turtles and even sharks if you are lucky. A lot of people sharks are dangerous, and that's true for some species like the white shark, but trust me a lot of them are really peaceful. As a scuba diver you are not food for them (because of all the equipment and the bubles) so you are safe. Last but not least, do not think the huge equipment required to breath underwater will be a burden as you will stop noticing it as soon as you will be bellow surface. I hope you liked to read about scuba diving and are now ready to try it out!
