Scuba diving is a sport in which you can lose yourself to the beauty of
the underwater world and escape gravity for a short time. ... Some may say though that diving is an extreme sport and that it is
too risky for anyone, its just for the wild hooligans. Scuba Diving is
a safe and enjoyable hobby despite the small risk involved. ...

is how good is the instruction that you need to become certified to dive. ... The following is An overview of the kind of training you will
receive through the PADI Scuba diving certification course, most all
diving certification courses are similar in content and requirements for
certification. The first you learn is how to use and wear Scuba equipment
(PADI Open 50,108). Some of the other skills are that you should never
hold your breathe, how to operate the Scuba equipment, and proper
technique for entering the water all of these basic skills and several
other will be taught to the students by an instructor who has been trained
to teach the skills effectively and to determine wether you are competent
to Scuba dive. ...

master the necessary skills for diving without having the pressure and
risk of being in the open water. ... Then show that how to
disassemble and maintain the Scuba Equipment you use (246). ...

thorough there are a few risks that even the most seasoned diver runs
into. ...

that could well be avoided, its name is stress. ... You can

ways this can be achieved is by diving within your experience level, keep
your training up to date, avoid situations you are unprepared for or
cannot handle, and lastly if it doesnt feel right dont do it (11-12). ...
Decompression sickness can also be brought on by flying too soon after
diving. ... This occurs because less circulation means you body
isnt as effective at taking the extra nitrogen you absorb while diving
out of your blood stream. ...
Two other common risks while diving are dehydration and
overexertion. Dehydration can occur more quickly while underwater,
because you breath very dry air from the Scuba tank and your body makes
more urine, as a result of the pressure. ...

usually felt by begging divers, because it only starts affecting you at
about one hundred feet.
