Diving is becoming more popular than ever throughout the world and every year many people either choose to become certified divers or try their hand at diving through a dive tour.
Skipping a Buddy Check
It’s easy to get wrapped up in the excitement of a dive and leap off the boat only to discover that one of you has a loose oxygen canister or some other issue. Therefore, never forego a quick buddy check before entering the water, it’ll only take a few minutes.
Bad Marine Etiquette
Many divers are completely unaware of the techniques required when taking photos underwater. One should never come too close to any specimen as to startle them or chase after a particular specimen in order to snap a picture since it would alert all the nearby fish.
Wearing the Wrong Weights
It is quite common for divers to wear heavier weights than necessary, and this will greatly increase the amount of oxygen you consume, bringing down the duration of your dive. If you’re at one of many elite diving resorts Maldives has to offer, like Anantara Veli Maldives Resort it would be a shame to cut your experience short.
Badly Maintained Gear
Diving equipment is not cheap, and neglect can greatly bring down their longevity. If you can maintain and service your equipment well, then not only will they not let you down during a dive, but will last you a long time.
