Scuba Diving Information for Adventure Dives
Scuba diving remains a popular sport that is also multifaceted. This should come as a surprise to no one as when a sport becomes popular, there will be a number of variants and alterations (so to speak) that are incorporated into the traditional model. In other words, a basic boat dive may lose its appeal to someone who has been scuba diving for many years and more inventive forms of the hobby will be required in order to make the hobby more interesting and stimulating.
As such, there are a number of adventure dives that have been developed to stimulate further scuba diving adventure based on a continuing education plan of scuba diving information. The reason that specialized scuba diving information is required to take part in these adventure dives is because these dives require complex skill sets needed to perform. Now, some of these adventure dives are fairly easy to learn while others are more difficult. The choice to take part in them is up to the individual, but participation without proper scuba diving information would be ill advisable.
Basic Adventure Dives
The most basic and easiest to learn of the advanced adventure dives are the self explanatory dives as follows: night diving, deep water diving, underwater photography, etc. These are all simple open water dives that require a modicum of scuba diving information. They are not “specialized” dives, but rather dives designed as the starting point for learning new information about the sport of diving on an advanced level.
Specialty Dives
Dives that require advanced scuba diving information include such dives as enriched air diving, dry suit diving, wreck penetration and other dives that require an understanding of sophisticated equipment in order to properly complete the dive. Now, the information here is not “PhD” level, but it is sophisticated and requires a bit of extra study and understanding. Also, having a bit of experience would be helpful.
“Danger” Dives
Certain dives, however, come with a serious risk to one’s safety. These include shark dives, ice dives, cavern dives, etc. These are dives that either deal with dangerous aquatic life or are confined dives that lack the ‘escape’ available in open water. Now, dangerous does not mean deadly. What it infers is that there is a certain risk involved. Because of this, extra attention must be spent on learning the intricacies of these dives in order to make sure that one performs the dive with an adequate degree of safety.
