Were going be going all the way along the coast down to Marco Island where were staying for a week. I’ve bee saving up my money for months to buy me and my father scuba gear after we got certified a few years ago. Were not spoiled so we don’t need great diving we’d be happy in a mud puddle. Were also staying at some natural springs can you dive in these?

Thanks,
Shne

lol vidi5, that was an old game u know, This one’s the latest

I am 62 female and I am certifide to dive. In one of the books on Au. it said that you could not be over 55. Is this true,and is there a age limit?

m reg 306 xldt, was pouring coolant down the street from the bottom of the radiator. on the 10 minute drive to the garage it sounded like a stuka dive bomber - a real head turner, everybody watched as i chugged by. The noise stopped before i got to the garage when the fan stopped - the car didnt overheat. The garage changed the rad, but now say the fan doesnt work. How much are fans? would i need to change/buy a whole assembly or can you get bits like temperature sensors and fan motors. Changing the rad has probably cost more than this car is worth, so I dont want to spend much more. coincidentally, does £240 seem reasonable to replace a passenger side window and change the radiator?
thanks pug knowers.

There are a number of important facts about scuba diving that you need to know. The first one is that you need to have a self-contained underwater breathing apparatus. These high pressure tanks that are strapped to the back of the diver, provide air to the diver that is regulated through a breathing device. This lets the diver go very deep in the water without worrying about coming up for oxygen.

Next of the facts about scuba diving is that you need specific diving apparel to protect your body and allow you to swim easily. Such apparel includes wetsuits, gloves, hoods, computer watch, etc. The next fact about scuba diving is that nearly anyone can be certified for scuba diving. More than one million people get certified for scuba diving each year. As long as you can put on a heavy tank filled with compressed and dive down deep, you can become certified. The thing that scares most people away from scuba diving is that breathing through the rubber tube connected to the air tank is the only way to stay alive that deep in the water. People have a fear that something will go wrong, but it is rare that something does.

The next of the facts about scuba diving is that the diver must make a decision on what type of underwater adventure would be preferred. You could dive in warm or cold water, or explore locations of shipwrecks. If you are on a cruise or in other specific instances, you may not have to get certified before going scuba diving. In cruises to the Caribbean, Acapulco, and the Florida Keys, you can get a one day crash course on scuba diving before you go exploring.

If you want to become a serious diver, you will need to know the mental and physical facts about scuba diving before pursuing the sport. Physically, you will need to look at your swimming, breathing, and equalizing abilities. You need to be able to swim well, not only for exploring, but also in case of an emergency where you need to be rescued.

Breathing-wise, you need to be able to breath solely through your mouth. This is one of the most important facts about scuba diving, because otherwise you won’t be able to stay under water. When it comes to equalizing, you need to know how to “pop” your ears. When you go deep in the water, there is a lot of pressure that builds up in the ears, and so you must “pop” your ears in order to equalize the pressure. To do this correctly, you will need to consult your scuba instructor or a doctor.

The last of the facts about scuba diving is knowing whether you have any physical conditions that might limit your ability to scuba dive. Such conditions include being overweight, fatigued, having diabetes, heart conditions, or any other ailments, and prone to drowning. It is always a good idea to get a physical done by a doctor before scuba diving.

However it is the sheer volume of excellent dive sites that makes Thailand such a popular destination. Destinations such as Pattaya, Krabi, Ko Chang and the Surin Islands are all home to a number of exceptional dive sites and dive centres.
