How To Enjoy Scuba Diving In Gozo

What is it that attracts you towards scuba diving? For me it has been the desire to overcome the fear of water. This may sound ridiculous to you but due to my water phobia I could not even enjoy a dip in the swimming pool. Scuba diving was a big thing for me. I have been fascinated with Nature for long, particularly the hills and the underwater life. I have spent hours watching countless NatGeo episodes on these two. The more I watched these shows, the more determined I became to overcome my fear. I realized one thing that if I do not overcome this fear, I will not be able to enjoy what I would really like to. So I decided to take swimming lessons before I opted for diving. No matter what others tell you, it is important to know swimming before you even think of going for scuba diving.
The depth under the sea is unfathomable. If you do not know swimming you will not be able to carry out the strokes to stay afloat. As a result the moment you go underwater, an unknown fear will grip you and you will start to panic. This can prove to be dangerous when you are underwater. Even if you have an instructor with ...
... you, it is important to have control over your body movements. If you lose control and get panicked, everything can go for a toss. Even the instructor will not be able to help you. So make sure that you are good at swimming before you decide to dive in. Swimming will give you the required confidence to try out diving.
Even if you know swimming, I will still suggest that you hire an instructor for your diving Gozo. The instructor will teach you the basics of diving. He will tell you which are the signs and symbols to use in order to communicate underwater. With the oxygen mask on, you will not be able to speak; you will have to communicate through sign language. There are some universal signs in diving that is followed all over the world. Your instructor will help you get acquainted with these. Once you learn them you can easily communicate with the instructor and tell him or her anything in case you face any issue when you are diving. On the basis of the signs that you use, your instructor will guide and assist you. So make sure that you know and understand what each sign means. This knowledge will help you a lot when you are underwater.
