Golden Rules

There are ten golden rules to divers notable here as you are a beginner or master may know well. You may dive deeper in you second dive than the first dive. Keep in mind to take the deeper part later and early part near to surface. Your age must be at least ten years to begin Scuba diving. That is the second rule as to the standards. Getting certified may help to your career as a diver. You may take advise from an agent of grade A and secondly from an agent B in order to be certified. Your certification may include classroom studies as well as on-site training.  Rule 4: Ascend no faster than 30 feet per minute — one foot every two seconds. You may have a safety stop at the end of dive. That means you must pause your dive at about fifteen feet for a minimum of three to five minutes before your final ascent to the surface.Become neutrally buoyant before beginning your ascent and maintain neutral buoyancy throughout your dives. In an emergency with on-air condition depend on your redundant system or octopus of your buddy. Instead you may ascent immediately. Everybody emphasizes the need of a buddy to dive. But solo diving is becoming common. Solo diving is more dangerous than buddy diving. Be careful about your diving in solitary conditions. Most of us were taught that a snorkel is mandatory gear on every dive, just like a pair of fins. But increasingly, divers are leaving the snorkel in the gear bag much of the time. The dive computer is one of most important things among safe diving. It is mandatory today and is more important than octopus or snorkel. All divers are used to use dive computers in their diving today. You may follow them. OK. Have a good buddy.
