What Are Scuba Diving Basic Rules?
To get close to the nature is the beauty of scuba diving . It can be tremendous fun and you learn a lot about underwater creatures and life.
Men and women can do this type of diving. Children also take to it easily. However, there some rules you should adhere before having your first dive.
To be able to dive, it is a basic necessity that you should know how to swim. It is not recommended for people with health problems to undertake this kind of diving. You should be in a good physical shape and have passed a physical check by a medical practitioner before starting a course for learning how to dive. Never dive if you have flu and wait until you are better.
Take proper training for diving. You have to take a recognized course with a recognized diving instructor. Get certified. This will serve as your proof that you have received and passed training. Be aware of your limitations. Don’t go too deep.
Dive with a buddy. Never dive alone. This is one of the basic rules that you must follow for safety. Watch out for each other while scuba diving. Learn the basic signs which will be taught during your diving course. See to it that you understand them well. Learning diving signs could save your life.
It is important to know how to breather correctly. Breathe evenly and slowly and relax when you breathe. Never hold your breath nor take short shallow breaths. This may cause serious injury to your lungs.
Keep a scuba diving log book where you can record everything – all your dives, progress and any relevant information about your diving experience which may include the following:
Date
Time
Depth
Place
Description (for extra information)
You can have your instructor examine your log book and ask for necessary advice. You can also share this record with friends when discussing your diving experiences.
It will be worth the effort if you spend time in planning your dive. Do pre-dive checks with your diving buddy as well as examining each others gear. Test out and see if all quick release catches are working properly. Ensure proper connection of air and buoyancy compensator hoses. Examine tanks and see if they are full and switched on.
Use mask that is in good condition and fits properly. Review your diving signals with your buddy Discuss your dive plan and agree on it . Avoid diving without a buoyancy compensator or some other form of compressed life jacket.
Basic things to observe during the dive:
Fine-tune your buoyancy.
Equalize mask pressure if necessary.
Clear ears from time to time.
Never get far with your buddy.
When possible, move with the currents.
Get your buddy’s attention if you experience problems and take action.
Never take unnecessary risks. Both your lives depend on it.
Guard your tank levels and maintain a good level of air (about 50 bars)
Last but not least, have fun and enjoy your scuba diving.
