Scuba Views -Las Vegas
I Am a Scuba Diver
The azure blue sky is slowly turning yellow before dipping below the horizon. We are on the boat waiting for the sun to set. I am attaching a flashing light to my BCD (vest) so that others can see me in the darkness. While waiting we are given a lecture of what we are about to experience. We are told these 12 foot creatures are mantagentle but please resist the urge to reach out and touch them. I am part of a group huddled on this boat, getting ready to enter the water and see Manta rays for the first time.
I have been diving for nearly 20 years, I have seen the beauties and majesty of the underwater world close up and personal but I have never seen this. My pulse starts to raise as the time to enter the water suddenly is upon us. We all pick up our underwater flashlights, step off of the dive platform on the back of the boat and submerge. It is easy to follow the dive master in the darkened water to the dive site, he is also illuminated with lights on his BCD (vest) and has a flashlight in his hand.
I am part of a very select group of people. It is estimated that scuba divers represent less than one half of one percent of the people on techthe earth today. Going underwater, where most people fear to tread, is exhilarating, magical, beautiful, relaxing, and captivating for us; it is an ever changing adventure.
We come igroupn many shapes, sizes and experience levels. Everyone starts at the beginning level of Open water diver where we will learn the physics, skills and theories involved in scuba diving.
Our journey in scuba diving is dependent on our wants, needs, comfort level and desires. We don’t all want to become a Dive Professional. There are courses that train us in the techniques and skills for the specific courses that interest us. Each course is designed to make a better more comfortable and competent diver.
