THE PROCESS OF SCUBA DIVING AND SNORKELLING IN INDIA
The whole process of scuba diving consists only four or five basic steps that have to be taken care of. The first step is to check that all your underwater gears are in the proper condition. Get into your diving gears starting with the facemask to the fins. Having your nose inside the mask properly is important for you have to sometimes blow through the nasal passage to clear the mask. The nose also has to be blocked by the divers to enable them to 'pop' their ears, which help clear the pressure from your ears. Choose a flipper that does not hurt your feet. The next step is to load weights into your belts to take you down. After that, you can get into your jacket with the gas cylinders. When you are through with your gears, this is the time go down in the sea. But, before that don't forget to look for your support line attached to you. Once inside the sea, the whole world of sea and its residents are your friend and behave with them properly. Any misbehaving with them can cost you more than you bargained for. Take care of all the safety measures already described to you. As the pressure of the water increases with the depth, you can have pain in your ears. Some exercises are recommended by the trainers to be safe from this and most useful is "popping" your ears whether you are going down or coming up.
