Scuba Diving 潜水


Diving is a very unique thing I ever get involved with...
I met all sort of great prople in diving,
I saw all different habitat of the wonderful sea creatures...
If a FAT guy like me can dive, so can you~
People always relate diving with sharks,
Like how sharks attack people~
FYI, divers always wish to see sharks,
White Tip, Black Tip, Nurse Shark, Bamboo Shark...
The sea creature afraid of divers more~
Why you scared?
But how to get started??
How much have to spend with?
This is a very subjective questions~
depend on where you take the course, which instructor or which dive center?
But just simple knowledge, in order to dive all you need is 2 certificate...
1. Open water
2. Advance open water.
Open water course needs to have theory lesson, confine water session & 4 dives at sea...
Price: est S$400 to S$750 or more (depend on where you go)
Duration: within a week
(example: Monday 7pm-10pm Theory Lesson
Tuesday & Wednesday 7pm-10pm Confine water lesson at Swimming pool
Friday 7pm Depart from Singapore to Dive
Sunday 7pm Arrive in Singapore with certified open water certificate)
Limitation on Open water certificate is:-
- No more than 18 meter deep in water
- No Diving at Night
The price usually include Resort to stay in, Transportation, Books & Diving Gears.
But sometimes, Some fishes can only be seen in deeper water.
So we need an advance open water certification.
Spends additional S$100-S$200 more than leisure diver price,
No more weekday lesson, just a weekend dives.
Advance Open water let you experience Deep Diving, Night Diving & Navigation...
Then you can go anywhere in the world to dive with your advance open certificate...

Diving is treated as a holiday getaway...
I prefer to dive when I wanna getaway from our concrete forest...
Just imagine, a place without buildings...
Just trees, sands, beach & sea~

So just treat it as a holiday~
