Scuba
What scuba has contributed to our conquest of the ocean is already enormous.
To professional students of the sea it is nearly as important an invention as the printing press, and to amateurs it has been no less liberating.
With the simpler but equally important devices of face-plate and fins, it has made diving one of the great participant sports of our generation, and one of the great sources of education.
Amateur divers have made underwater photography, once the specialty of a few highly trained specialists, a mass hobby.
They have discovered new species of marine life. They have probed the wrecked skeletons of ships that otherwise might have been lost to history.
But our weapons of exploration and discovery are still just partially successful. The knowledge they give us is intimate but not deep.
We still know almost nothing about most of the 140 million square miles of ocean that surround us, of the shape and history of the continents they conceal, of their immeasurable and untapped resources, of their relationship to life itself.
Perhaps some day we will. The sea gives up its secrets slowly.
The history of diving is largely the story of equipment. The introduction of face-mask, fins and snorkel in the '30's planted the divers' flag firmly in underwater territory.
Exposure suits added new dimensions of area and season. And finally the demand-regulator lung took thousands of divers to depths that until then had been the exclusive province of men with hard hats and air lines.
But scuba has not made the mask-fin-snorkel combination obsolete.
If there's one opinion that all diving experts share, it's that nobody should simply strap on scuba and plunge, with no previous underwater experience.
Scuba should not provide anyone with his first look at the world under the surface. Before you bet your life on your ability to handle a lung, you should become a competent skin-diver—with mask, fins and snorkel as your only gear.
This is no mere dull preliminary chore. Actually, many of the top divers, hunters and photographers prefer to use the basic trio and rarely or never use lungs.
Besides, you can do things with just a mask that simply aren't possible with scuba.

Essential Reminders for Your Scuba Diving Vacation
So, you finally got your scuba diving certification and the next step for you is to go on a scuba diving vacation. The trip can definitely be an exciting one, however, you shouldn't forget about the importance of proper planning for this excursion. A scuba diving vacation is very much different from your normal trips. Thus it is important to be prepared for this kind of trip.
The primary consideration for you scuba diving vacation is the destination. You need to choose a good diving spot whose features are appropriate for your diving skills, budget, time, and preference. For ideas, consult a travel agent who is knowledgeable about diving. You may also check with a diving center for diving sites that will match your diving level. The internet is also a good source of worldwide information about such matters.
While the main objective of your vacation is to go scuba diving, this doesn't necessarily mean that you will spend the entire trip underwater. Majority of your vacation will still be spent on land and thus it is important to carefully arrange such matters. You would also not want to miss out on the breathtaking sights on the way to the waters. Thus you need to carefully plan the land-based details of your vacation.
Make a checklist of the things you need for the vacation from your flights to your scuba diving gear. If you are going on an international trip, be sure to arrange other important details such as your visa, vaccinations (if needed), currencies, and other matters. Research every detail of your vacation so you don't go empty-handed. Knowing about everything will decrease the likelihood of problems happening during the trip.
Here are other important tips for your scuba diving vacation:
- Set the dates for your vacation, but be flexible as there might things to change.
- Look around for good scuba diving vacation packages.
- mark you scuba diving equipment clearly so you can spot them easily.
- Get diving and travel insurance.
- Make several copies of your travel documents, keep one for yourself and give another to someone at home.
- Don't forget your medicines and first aid kit.
- Take important diving gear with you as carry on luggage.
- Check with your airline if they have restrictions about diving equipment.
With careful planning, you can ensure your enjoyment for your scuba diving vacation. Enjoy!
