For those unfamiliar with diving, the idea of venturing into the sea late at night might be challenging.For divers, encountering these radiant creatures is a cherished experience.Scenes like these become treasured memories!Though it might not happen every day, seeing glowing plankton is actually quite common.It is no exaggeration to say that even though it is […]

When it comes to adjusting buoyancy underwater, two important things come to the rescue. One is the buoyancy compensator (BC) and the other is your lungs. However, an appropriate amount of weight is important to achieve comfortable neutral buoyancy.Yet, it’s not just about getting the weight right; there’s more to consider.The way you distribute the weight […]

DECO, short for decompression, plays a crucial role in ensuring diving safety.As we discussed in this article, standard dives operate under the assumption of “no-decompression required”. It allows divers to explore without the need for Decompression stops. However, venturing beyond the allocated time for a no-decompression dive – NDL, No decompression Limit – will trigger […]

First, let me ask you a quick question:「Does Recreational Scuba Diving include decompression stops?」Well, the correct answer is actually mostly “No.”However, your class may have included the practice of a Safety Stop.This Safety Stop is a simulated decompression stop at approximately 15 feet (5m) for 2 to 3 minutes and is not required but recommended […]

Have you ever thought about how pressure and density impact our lives? From morning to night, they play a significant role. Interestingly, in our daily routines, we rarely consider density. But, Scuba Diving will change that! This article explores the relationship of pressure and density of a gas such as air, making it easy for […]

Have you ever noticed that things look bigger when you see them underwater?Imagine you are at a cool café. When you’re given a glass of water with a straw, you might observe that the part of the straw submerged in water looks larger than the part above the water. Another example is when you’re in a […]

Hey, fellow divers! We all want to make the most of our time underwater, right?Picture this: You’re diving with your team, and oops, you start feeling a little guilty because your air supply is running low compared to the others. It happens!We will talk about the smart ways to manage your air in a different […]

When it comes to scuba diving, grasping the concept of neutral buoyancy is crucial. Yet, achieving neutral buoyancy is not a one-time accomplishment. It requires continuous adjustments to the air volume inside the buoyancy compensator (BC) based on the depth.Why is it necessary to fine-tune the air volume within the BC as per the depth? […]

Isn’t it astonishing that most of the oxygen we rely on for our survival originates from the vast expanse of the ocean?As Scuba divers, we understand and appreciate the value of oxygen like no one else.Every time I go diving, I remember how grateful I am to be able to breathe oxygen on land without […]

Remember those carefree days playing in the pool? Have you ever tried diving to the bottom of the pool, hoping to touch the floor only to be deterred by the excruciating pain in your ears? Some of you who have already experienced scuba diving may have encountered ear pain during your dives.The changing pressure in […]
