Precautions for Scuba Diving - Snorkelling in India
Scuba Diving - Snorkelling is fun if all the precautions are taken care of and a hazard if not. Some of these are listed below.
Diving today is as safe as any other active sport but trying to dive without first learning something about the equipment and how to use it is as foolish as trying to drive a car without first learning something about the car.
Anybody trying his hands at scuba diving and snorkeling must not only be fully aware of the dangers the protruding coral rocks present but should also be able to avoid them. It needs a trained eye to spot out these clusters because often they merely appear as mere dark patches on the emerald water; and such patches are often created by the small flecks of cloud that almost always dot the sky.
All dives in the shallow lagoon are great fun provided you have a glass mask and a snorkel tube. While the latter provides a vent for breathing, the glass case is for enabling you to see clearly through the water.
You are also needed to be safe from shark, octopus, or jellyfish. When in any problem, go for the medical attention quickly and inform the others if you are in a group.
Undersea environment is in the danger of overexploitation and there are reports of many corals being damaged due to high pressure. Please make sure that you are not contributing to this damage. You are also expected to respect the local cultures and traditions.
