Never stop developing your diving abilities. There is always more to learn—how to dive new environments, how to refine your skills or even how to use new types of equipment. No matter where your diving adventures take you, make sure you are equipped with the proper training.
Ingat:
- Sertifikasi Anda hanya membuat Anda memenuhi syarat untuk kondisi menyelam yang sama dan lingkungan tempat Anda dilatih.
- As you continue your training, slowly extend your diving experiences. California shore diving presents different challenges than Caribbean boat diving—make sure you’re prepared for each new diving environment.
- Take it easy, and if you’re not having fun or if you don’t feel good about the dive, don’t do it. This is especially important when diving in new conditions such as cold water or limited visibility or when using new equipment.
- If you feel uncomfortable about a dive, it may because you feel that you’re not ready. Remember, dive your experience, not your “C” card.
- Jika Anda ingin mulai menjelajahi lingkungan baru, carilah pelatihan yang tepat yang akan mempersiapkan Anda untuk menjelajahinya dengan aman. Misalnya, jika Anda ingin menjelajahi bagian dalam kapal karam atau memasuki gua, ikuti kursus Wreck Diving atau Cave Diving. Lingkungan overhead yang unik ini menghadirkan tantangan khusus yang dapat membunuh Anda jika tidak terlatih untuk mengelolanya.
Don’t neglect first aid training. In the case of an emergency, you will not regret taking a course that requires a few hours of your time.
There are all kinds of specialty dive courses that can prepare you to explore safely. If you want to expand your diving experiences, sign up for a course to get the training you need…
