The Joys Of Diving

As a diver, you are weightless and can move in all directions. You approach the freedom of a bird as you move in three dimensions in a fluid environment. Diving weightless in clear water in a forest of underwater plants with sunlight streaming down is only one of many unforgettable experiences awaiting you.

When you descend beneath the surface of the water, you enter an entirely new and beautiful world. You have opportunities to see incredible life forms that only a few people ever see. Imaging swimming in a giant aquarium, and you can get a glimpse of what you can expect to experience in the underwater world.

Just as there are mountains, plains, and differing environments above the surface of the water, there are differing environments for you to experience underwater. Coral reefs, kelp forest, incredible rock formations and other natural wonders await divers in various geographical regions. Add to this piers, jetties, quarries, mysterious shipwrecks and other artificial structures, and you can easily see how the variety of underwater sights is limitless. There is more to view underwater than anyone could possibly see in a lifetime.

Diving is a sharing activity, and there is much to share. If you enjoy traveling, you will love diving. Most divers plan one or more diving vacations each year. The feelings and sensations of diving are fantastic but are difficult to explain. Words are inadequate to describe the peaceful solitude of “inner space”. Diving contributes to good health, can help reduce work-related stress, can increase self-esteem, and can make you feel great!

You will soon experience the emotions and sensations for yourself. You then will begin to know the joys of diving.
