It completely changes your senses.

Your hearing is muffled – all you can hear are clicks, squeaks and crackles. Plus the sound of your breathing, of course. Scuba diving can be an extremely mindful practise, where you’re present with your breath and the wonderful world surrounding you. If you’re an introvert, scuba diving will be like a dream; nobody can talk to you underwater (except in bubbles)! If you’re an extrovert, you’ll love immersing yourself in the post-dive hype that always happens when you get back to the surface after an awesome underwater adventure.

 

It’s about as close as you can get to floating in space

Learn how to gain perfect neutral buoyancy, and it will feel like you’re floating weightless through space. When you learn to scuba dive for the first time, you can already get a sense of this. Soon enough, you’ll be soaring through the water like a majestic manta ray.

There’s a whole new world to discover

On land, we have insects and birds, large mammals and fellow humans. Underwater, you open yourself up to a whole new world amongst corals, fish, crustaceans (like crabs, lobsters), and molluscs (octopus, cuttlefish, large, odd and colourful underwater snails) just to name a few. When you scuba dive, you get to live life in an extra dimension – you’re at the centre of 360 degrees of wonder in all directions. It’s really quite impossible to describe what it’s like to fully submerse yourself in the underwater world – you have to experience it!

 

Slow down & take a closer look

In today’s world, we always seem to be moving at lightning speed to get everything done. When you duck underwater for a scuba dive, time slows down. It’s not about getting to your destination. It’s about being exactly where you are. Feeling, observing and enjoying. You get to stop and wave hello to nemo, cruise alongside a turtle and maybe – if you’re lucky – lay suspended on your back as you watch a giant ray cruise overhead. Being a part of this world really is like nothing else, so what are you waiting for?
