21 Feb 5 Beautiful Places to Scuba Dive in West Malaysia
Everything started several years ago when I decided it was time for me to do something more than just snorkel. A PADI Discover Scuba Diving program was just enough to make want to share the beauty of the underwater world with my friends and not just, only now I had become an Open Water Scuba Instructor. More than a few people wonder what makes me talk so passionately about SCUBA diving.
Asking the same question to myself, I have to admit that I wasn’t really surprised to find not one, but 22 reasons!
So, SCUBA diving can:
1. be something entirely different than the usual hobbies since it takes place in a completely different environment.
2. give us the opportunity to explore the 75% of our planet, made of water since there are countless dive sites which we can visit for our dives.
3. provide us with the amazing experience of flying thanks to the weightlessness that exists underwater.
4. offer you the sense of absolute serenity since the underwater environment can subconsciously transfer you to the mother’s womb.
5. be an escape from our everyday life, because we can dive, especially in Greece, every day of the week, all year round without any special requirements.
6. give an added value to our holiday destinations since we will be taking into account whether we can or can’t dive to the place that we’ve chosen for our holidays.
7. help us observe underwater life, making this a great interactive learning experience.
8. be done by everyone, given the fact that no serious health problems, limiting our activities, exist.
