5 tips before starting a SCUBA diving training course

Following years as a diver and instructor, being constantly on both sides (as a diver-student taking training courses and as an instructor – teaching sport & technical diving courses), I’ve made a short list of 5 tips strongly suggest you to adhere:

  • 1 – make sure you exceed the minimum requirements for the course you are enrolling in. This is in fact, just a number. Varying from agency to agency, from level to level. Make sure YOU are comfortable with that level you are now, and you are ready to move on to the next level. Ask a good diver-friend for an honest opinion and advice to improve, if necessary, before you enroll in the next challenge.
  • 2 – give time between your course in order to assimilate, understand, practice, and master the skills & knowledge just learned. A strong pyramid is built with a strong foundation! Crocheting the classes without a break is not always a good idea. You may tick the boxes of requirements, but certain levels, especially the technical diving ones, need time.
  • 3 – be very comfortable in the diving configuration you are intending to perform. Sidemount, backmount, dry suit, DPV, CCR, etc – know your gear as per your present level before moving forward to the next one. And get ready to perform not always in perfect conditions, weather, or especially if some gear is rented (cylinders, harness, etc).
  • 4 – be in a good (as a minimum) physical & mental status. If you need to lose some weight, do it in advance. Do it anyway! If you need some cardio – start moving. If you need some extra strength – start working out. Be honest with yourself and take action. Do it under proper supervision, with a fitness trainer or dietician. Quit smoking, will be your best health decision ever.
  • 5 – know your instructor in advance. For the technical & overhead diving courses is almost a must. You have social media as a powerful tool. See what he/she is doing, and how is performing. But… don’t let yourself entrapped into the well-made-up marketing. Empty your brain and get ready to fill it up with knowledge. And most important – you need to resonate with your instructor as much as possible.

Dive safe!

Unele cursuri recreationale dar in special cursurile de scufundari tehnice, necesita o buna planificare din timp datorita complexitatii cerute de standardele agentiei certificatoare sau de logistica speciala necesara. Nivelele superioare ANDI ITM L5 & TMD L5 sunt disponibile la cerere dar numai in locatii externe (de exemplu in Lanzarote, Dahab, Malta etc) datorita adancimilor care nu sunt usor accesibile in Marea Neagra. Datorita cerintelor cursurilor tehnice, o buna conditie fizica este recomandata.

Este recomandat ca fiecare scafandru sa aiba propria asigurare de scufundari. Informatii suplimentare despre scufundarile tehnice mai puteti gasi si pe forumul specializat unde sunteti bineveniti sa contribuiti cu materiale sau intrebari.

Toti cursantii beneficiaza de asistenta informationala pe viata (via email, telefon, Skype, Y! etc)

De asemenea, scufundarile la epave  vor fi si anul aceste punctul forte al activitatilor curente. In colaborare cu Aquarius Dive Center, vom putea vizita si explora “SC-213“, “Moskva“, “Maria Bacolita”, “General Turner”, “Arkadia“, “Medy“, “You Xiu“, “Sadu“, “Paris“…

 

Pentru informatii suplimentare si programari, va rog sa ma contactati via email sau telefon.
