Local Travel Tip

Snorkeling is ok, but scuba diving opens up a whole new world as you go underwater! There are so many places that you can scuba dive including places like California, the Caribbean, Australia, and Indonesia.  It is a fun activity to explore the new places you visit. Not to mention, easy to rent equipment on the go and offers truly unique experiences.

Getting scuba certified is a simple process. Find a company that runs the course (businesses, universities, etc.), sign up, take the class, learn the material, take a test, and go on at least two practice dives with your instructor. It is quick and easy and some courses only take a few days.

However, scuba diving may not be for everyone. If you easily get claustrophobic, get motion sickness (it can be especially bad when on the boat just getting to the diving location), or have other fears- you may want to evaluate if scuba diving is right for you.

When you get certified, make sure that you understand all the safety measures and hand signals to keep you and your dive party safe. Also, ensure that you feel comfortable in a pool before doing other dives. Ask if your dive shop has refresh classes where you can go and “practice” if you haven’t dived for a couple of years.

Scuba diving is a blast and will can bring you many great memories over the years!
