When you start your PADI course very dive center requires to read and sign standard documents. Here you can find some explanation – what and why you should sign them. Liability Release – This document explains the risks of scuba diving to the participant and is designed as a contract. The diver agrees to assume the risks and accepts something can and may go wrong. None of us are perfect, and when entering a foreign environment with life support equipment, things do happen. Non-agency Acknowledgment – This form explains that PADI Member businesses are not owned by PADI, that dive pros are not employees of PADI, and PADI does not and cannot control the day-to-day operations and decisions of diving business. PADI is not involved in the decisions about whether or not to dive a particular day, the dive site, or what staff members are assigned for a particular duty. That is dive company business. Safe Diving Practices Statement – This document is designed to inform divers of their responsibility to dive safely – not only while a student diver, but after certification as well. The diver’s signature on this form confirms s/he is aware of their responsibility as a diver, and failure to adhere to safe practices could place the diver at increased risk. The Medical Statement discusses the risks of diving and asks the diver to disclose any pre-existing medical conditions. A ‘yes’ answer requires the approval of a physician before participating in any in-water activities. The form also advises the diver to consult with a physician “on a regular basis” after completing the course. Before you decide to take part in the course, read the Medical Statement, to make sure you can dive safely (find it here...

Own gear for a better experience! So you’ve finished your open water certification, and maybe even some more advanced certs. Congratulations! Now you’re excited and a real scuba diver, and part of being a ‘real’ scuba diver is having gear. How do you know which scuba gear to buy first?. There’s a good chance that you can’t afford to buy all of the gear you need at once, but, you can probably afford to buy one thing now, and another thing later, and so on until you’ll eventually have it all. Putting aside the fins, mask, and snorkel that you may already have has a keen snorkeler what’s next. First piece of gear you should get: dive computer. Many dive shops and tour operators require you to have a dive computer nowadays, and while some of those shops rent them, others do not. Even if you do rent one, you’re still not going to be familiar with it or how it works. It’s for these reasons: increasingly required, not always available for rent, and a fantastic learning tool that we highly recommend at least a simple dive computer as your first purchase. Second piece of gear you should consider: wetsuit. Main reason is is fit and comfort. What if they don’t have your size? What if they don’t have the thickness you want? What if the style of suit just doesn’t fit your body type comfortably? You’re going to be wearing that wetsuit a lot, so you want it to be as comfortable as it can be, and you need it to fit correctly or it’s pretty worthless for warmth. You can achieve these things by buying your own suit, maybe even having them tailored for. So, if you’re at all concerned about comfort and having a suit that fits you like a glove, this is a very good reason to buy your own. If you buy a suit, at least you know the only person who peed in it is...

Did you know that the technique is named after Antonio Maria Valhalla,]a seventeenth-century physician and anatomist from Bologna whose principal scientific interest was the human ear. He described the Eustachian tube and the manoeuvre to test its patency (openness). He also described the use of this manoeuvre to expel pus from the middle ear. For diving we found it very useful but be aware not to blow too hard, you might rupture your inner drum. Small rupture will need a few days to repair but force to much and permeate damage could occur.Do it long and smoothly. Actually an interesting version of the valsava technique is to pinch your nose blow gently and leave a little of air passing true your nose so you will equalize your mask as well. This will avoid mask squeeze at the same time. Try it!!! Simon...
