Safety Diving Tips.

We all know that above all else, Safety is the most important so before heading to scuba diving we need to know this safety tips for our safety and security.

  • DON'T DIVE ALONE


 This is the important of all. Always dive with somebody no matter where you are, you can dive with some of professional divers with so much knowledge and when you do dive with a buddy keep an eye on him/her to make sure everything is okay. If something happens, that buddy can help you and be the difference between life and death. Never violate this tip. Also do a pre-dive equipment check with your buddy.

  • PLAN YOUR DIVE

You will hear this in your training or to your coaches and you should follow this advice. You have to plan everything and Prior to going under, you need to know the max depth you will go, the amount of bottom time you'll have and how much air you will start to ascend with. Check your air supply often. You should also agree on the hand signals you will use to communicate underwater. 

  • CONDITION YOUR PHYSICAL SHAPE

This one is also important, You have to put your physical shape in good condition, You don't have to be a triathlete but you should be able to swim and take the stress of diving. A physical exam is a good idea before diving. Some studies have shown that about a quarter to a third of all scuba diving fatalities are from heart and/or circulatory problems.

  • DON'T HOLD YOUR BREATH
This is probably the first cardinal rule of diving. Remember to always breathe slowly and in a relaxed way and to exhale fully. Don't take short, shallow breathes and never hold your breath. Holding your breath underwater can lead to lung injuries and worse, in the extreme case.

  •  GET A PROPER TRAINING
This is one cardinal rule of safe diving. Having proper training will make you much more comfortable underwater and that is key to having a safe dive.

The following is an email to express my thought as a Tour Guide in Boracay Island but first thing first I would like thank Tatay Rey & Atty. Helen Catalbas of DOT Region VI in providing us the Tourists Arrival for 2012. For 2012, total arrival of Chinese & Taiwanese is 174,567 and Korean is 156,445. I would like mention these 2 markets since 90% of the tourists in these 2 markets do not speak English and totally rely on the assistance of tour guides in the island. Tour Guides for these 2 markets are Frontliners representing Philippines as a destination for fun and enjoyment. We are also representing Boracay Island as one of the best destination in the world and doing our best to represent well of the island.

TIDES & CURRENTS

Tides Have played in the beach for more than 6hours? Did you realise the same spot that you were playing become dry? Where is the water? When I was young, I thought it was magic but as I grow older than I understand that these changes are called tides due to the result of the gravitational pull of the moon and to a smaller extent, the sun. Tides affect divers by exposing or concealing rocks that are or near the water's surface. For example, a low tide may expose rocks that make the entry and exit hazardous, but when the tide rises, these rocks may be completely submerged and safe to swim over. You may also avoid long surface walk if you are diving in high tides. Currents In the ocean, currents are formed by winds, waves, tides, and the rotation of the earth.
