5 Things to do Before your Next Scuba Course
Are you planning to take the next
step and complete a new PADI certification? To help get the most out of your
course, try these five tips on being refreshed, prepared and fit to dive.
Choose the right course
It may sound simple, but pick a
course that works with your current abilities (not just what you want to
achieve in the future). So, if you’re looking to create amazing photos but
struggle with holding your position underwater, Peak Performance Buoyancy could
give you a solid foundation before moving onto Digital Underwater Photographer.
Refresh
If it’s been a while since you were
last underwater, why not sign up for PADI ReActivate,
book a day’s diving, or even practice on land to brush up on the
skills you’ll need to excel on your next course. For example, if you’re taking
the plunge into Ice Diving you’ll want plenty of recent practice with a dry
suit. Or, fine tune your compass skills for a head start on Search and Recovery
Diver.
Get
dive fit
Carrying heavy kit or climbing back
onto a boat can feel daunting if you’re out of practice, but by adding a few
simple fitness
techniques to your daily regime you can make the physical
demands a little easier. Stay mentally fit, too — yoga
is often cited as a great way to relax before diving.
Know your scuba gear
You’ll find it hard to concentrate
on learning new skills if your equipment is badly fitted, doesn’t work, or if
you’re not sure how to operate it. If you’re using your own gear, do make sure
it’s tried and tested well in advance so you’ve got time to make any necessary
adjustments.
Have
a goal in mind
PADI courses are a fun way to
develop your experience as a diver. But inevitably there may be challenges
along the way, such as taking a little longer to master a new skill. Having an
end goal in mind— and a reward — can keep you focused and give you an
added sense of accomplishment at the end. How about a new torch after a Night
Diver course, or a trip to a bucket list dive site to celebrate becoming a Deep
Diver?
