How To Become A Scuba Diver

SCUBA stands for "Self-Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus." The sport is so popular that there is an estimated one million people becoming certified scuba divers worldwide every year. The Scuba gear is designed to allow human beings to dive into deep waters with enough oxygen to breath. The scuba diving course requires specialized training. However, almost anyone who knows how to swim can take on the course and become a certified scuba diver.

Certification courses are offered by recognized associations such as PADI (Professional Association of Diving Instructors) and NAUI (National Association of Underwater Instructors), the YMCA, and a few other groups. Legitimate scuba diving courses are offered through SCUBA shops, resorts, dive operators, YMCAs, colleges, and community centres.

In the beginning, you first must determine whether you are physically able to scuba dive. Even if you know how to swim, scuba diving can be tiring, so your swimming skills should be fairly strong. If you are overweight, tire easily or have diabetes, a heart condition or any other predisposition to drowning, talk to your doctor before scuba diving.

Some people have problems getting used to breathing through their mouths instead of their noses. This problem can be easily fixed through practice with a snorkel or regulator in "safe" environments like a pool or bathtub. A harder problem to overcome is equalizing the pressure in your ears as you descend lower and lower into the water--that is, being able to "pop" your ears, like on a plane. As you go deeper in the ocean, pressure builds, and it is crucial to your physical being that you be able to pop your ears. Some people find this easier than others. Some can just swallow, yawn or hold their noses and blow gently. Others like to yawn and wiggle their jaws from side to side. Whatever the method, it sometimes takes a pretty long time to kick in. If you are having trouble equalizing, don't go any deeper. Tell your buddy (more on him below) to hold up, and make sure you pop your ears, because the alternative can be ruptured eardrums.

Classroom training explains the basic physics of diving (which helps divers understand the skills they will be learning and the function of each piece of gear). It also covers the all-important rules of calculating how long it is safe to stay underwater at different depths, the science of diving illnesses such as the bends and nitrogen narcosis, first aid, and concepts that will be practiced in the pool and open water parts of the course.

The fun part of the course is the open water section. Students practice assembling scuba gear, doing a preliminary pre-dive safety check, donning gear, then entering the water using techniques such as the backward roll and the giant stride. Students then check their buoyancy and descend under the supervision of a diving instructor. Skills such as sharing air, clearing masks, clearing a regulator, controlling buoyancy, and using a compass are practiced during the dive, and the rest of the time is spent diving - getting used to the experience of being and breathing underwater.

Scuba education from Scuba Schools International (SSI) is the best way to start your scuba diver adventure. Why? Our training programs are designed with one goal in mind: for you to have serious fun when you dive! And the only way to have a great time diving is to become truly comfortable with the skills and the equipment you'll use.
