SAFETY SCUBA DIVING TIPS.

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
