Diving is a great experience and should be tried by everyone at least once in their life-time. And…it’s not as scary or complicated as you would think. By the way, it’s also not as cumbersome as you would think. Granted the number of equipment for drivers are many however, once you’re in the water, rest assured you’ll not feel weighed down. I suppose you could compare divers to sea turtles. Sea turtles seem cumbersome and walk really slowly on land. But have you seen a sea turtle swim? They literally cut through the waters and zip past you so quickly you may not realize its that same cumbersome turtle you’ve seen on land. That’s how diving is. Once you’re in the water, you’ll be comparable to the most agile and elegant sea creatures .
