Diving allows you to breathe and move freely underwater. SCUBA means Self Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus. This means that you can stay underwater for longer without having to surface for air. Diving has been around for a long time and advancements have been made along the way to make diving the popular recreational sport that it is today.
Some think that diving is a dangerous and challenging sport. The mortality rate is negligible and most accidents happen due to people not respecting the limitations of their training. We know firsthand that most emergencies happen due to poor training or inadequate knowledge of the techniques and their limitations. Diving is not difficult but, as in all sports, we follow rules. It’s an easy sport that millions of people participate in every year.
The maximum depth of a dive is determined by the diver´s qualification, experience etc. The maximum depth for all recreational diving is 40m but this depth limit is reached by acquiring sufficient training and experience. Most beginner courses limit the maximum depth of all dives to 18m until the diver has obtained further training and experience.
