Buddy Scuba

Where is the best place to book a scuba diving holiday? I'm based in London and have just got my PADI Openwater Diver Cert. I'm keen for me and a buddy to go on a diving break - but don't know the best way to go about it. Are there any London clubs that organise such trips (either in or outside the UK) or any holiday companies that specialise in diving jaunts? Or is it better to get a standard hoilday to a scuba resort (i.e. Sharm El Sheikh) and organise the dive trip when I'm there? You can get some really good bargains in Egypt on the Red Sea coast at this time of year. There are several diving holiday organisations which arrange trips. I have used Tony Backhurst Scuba (web site at www.scuba.co.uk) many times. They cater for both experienced & inexperienced divers. You could even go for your Advanced Open Water cert whilst you are there as this consists mainly of experience dives with only a tiny bit of additional bookwork- practical stuff rather than theory. Personally, I would arrange my diving before going to be sure you can get booked in. You can also chat to them here about the sort of diving you want to do etc etc before you go. There are many many other places you can go around the world but Egypt is pretty jacked up for divers with some very good prices too. The groups going there are mainly divers so the airlines etc are very familiar with diving equipment luggage etc. If you want to go as part of a bigger group then best to contact your local dive centres- or the British Sub Aqua Club (BSAC) has clubs just about everywhere-their web site is www.bsac.com & you will be able to get details of all the clubs in your area.

The Risks Of Scuba

Scuba diving is one of the most beautiful recreational activities out there but with it's great beauty and awe comes risks. The key to having a successful dive is knowing the risks and how to either eliminate them or minimize them.

Certified: The biggest risk out there is that people are scuba diving without being properly certified. There are many vacation and resorts that offer a watered down course in scuba diving so that their patrons can enjoy the beauty of the dive without having to go through months of training. The problem with that is you are not properly equipped with the knowledge and training to do a dive safely. Get in touch with your PADI Scuba Diver Certification or NUAI Scuba Diver Certification for more information on how to become certified.

Knowing your Equipment: This is a huge risk for new divers. Not having a thorough understanding of your equipment can lead to malfunctions and that can lead to death. It is important that you have gone through proper training. Make sure you know the insides and out of your equipment, including how to clean it, maintain it, and how it works, also it is important to know how to recognize a defect. By being cautious you will greatly minimize the chances of disaster.

Know your surroundings: Another risk posed to scuba divers is the underwater life itself. There are many creatures that live in ocean or the sea and many of those creatures can be dangerous. From the Shark to the stingray it is important to have a general understanding of what type of marine life is in the body of water you will be scuba diving in. You should also have a general understanding of marine animals in general this will help you to understand if an animal is posing danger to you during your dive.

The Buddy System: Always dive with a buddy. The biggest risk in scuba diving is diving alone. It is very important to have a buddy diving with you to ensure that you have help should the need arise. Both divers are to watch out for each other in case of emergency.

Remember when scuba diving ensure your safety is paramount and you will have an experience to last a life time. The world underwater can be at your fingertips if you take the time to recognize the risks and how to minimize them.
