Year 2007 and beyond, we hope divers will be more responsible and improve on
their diving skills where needed. The common thoughts: "the more you dive,
the better you become" is actually very true. For once, look at those sea
lifes, swim side by side with them and stop thinking of them as FOOD!
For many years, mankind depended on fishing to get food. The sea made up 75%
of the planet. It made sense to use the resources from the ocean for our livelihood.
But there are people who fish for fun, not for the food; to them it is the pleasure of
catching the rarest, fastest or biggest fish that give them the adrenaline. They
do not realize that one day our resources from the sea will exhaust as the likes
of deforestation of trees. Just like over fished, overlogging will leads to soil
erosion, loss of food for animals, etc.
Besides over-fishing, killing of marine life
for leisure, divers also have a part to play
inorder to protect our fragile eco-system.
Good diving manners also mean brush-
ing up on skills, e.g. maintain neutral
buoyancy, diving with the appropriate
amount of weights, mind where your
fins and gauges are (not dragging on
the sea floor, scratching or landing on
corals, etc.). These are considerate
behaviours where if each of us do our
parts to preserve and protect the eco-
system, eventually we will have beautiful
coral gardens and with the abundance
of food for fish, fish pollution thrive.
During our PADI Open Water Diver
course, divers are taught basic
buoyancy and proper weighting
knowledge and other skills. They go
on to learn more specialized skills
like deep diving, night diving, under
-water navigation, fish identification,
and many others. All these are not
only for diver's safety survival skills
but also skills to enable them to
enjoy in the underwater world with-
out causing harm to the environment
and its inhabitants. Click Services
