Learn To Scuba Dive – Part 5

This is the fifth and final post in my learn to dive series. In the previous posts I have discussed why you should learn to dive, is one training agency better than another and is it better to learn to dive at home or when on holiday? I have also broke down a PADI Open Water Course to give you an idea what you will do when you learn to dive and what you can do after you gain your dive qualification.

In this final post I’m going to let the pictures do the talking. Now please remember that the pics you see were taken by me and I am by no means a great underwater photographer, nor do i have a proper underwater photographic equipment. I have tried to include images that provide an insight to what it would be like to learn to dive and what you may see. I could waffle on about each image and what is happening in them but I won’t, I will however describe them .

The next 3 images were all taken during personal dives in the waters around Thailand, I can just about remember their names, do any of you know them? If so you should let other know in the comments.

I hope this series of posts on learning to dive has been helpful in someway and maybe answered a few questions. If you have missed any of these posts there is a list of links at the end targeted to individual posts. If there is anything you would like to know about scuba diving or learning to dive in particular then leave a message in the comments and I’ll try and answer it. That’s enough from me now so what are you waiting for go learn to dive.
