Separate scuba facts from myths

As a new scuba diver you will have so many different questions about the sport you chose to participate in. You will hear and read exciting stories in the media and on the big screen. Making heads or tails of the information you gathered may sometimes be confusing to say the least and not knowing what is fact or fiction can have you blowing a lot less bubbles.

That said, being Leisure Pro we felt an obligation not only to bring you the deepest discounts in the scuba industry but also set you straight on what’s a scuba fact and what’s a scuba myth.

Scuba Diving Safe Ladder Exit

Climbing up the boat ladder is from the most challenging aspects of scuba diving. By following some simple rules you can exit safely.

During your safety stop, assess the surface conditions, wait until the area around the ladder is clear of divers, hold onto the railing. Remain under water and off the ladder to take off your fins, and once your fins are off and secured, center yourself on the ladder for climbing. Pay close attention to everything you do and be careful throughout.

Scuba Diving Summer Camp for Teens

Part 1:

Choosing the right summer camp for your teen is not a simple task at all! Many camps offer hands-on programs focusing on scuba diving and other water activities that will surely have a significant influence on your child. Therefore it is important to choose a summer camp program wisely and carefully.

The camp you choose should meet the needs, interests, goals and expectations of the parent and the child as much as possible. Consider the cost of a scuba summer camp, some might be less expensive while others a bit more depending on the type of camp, length of stay, and programs offered. Also make sure to check out what programs and activities are offered by the camp to ensure that your child will experience a summer to remember!


Part 2:

Narrow down your choices and take a closer look at them by reviewing brochures and videos with your child. Arrange to meet with directors, and don’t hesitate to ask many questions. A good camp should be eager to respond to them. The main thing is to choose carefully and precisely so your child can enjoy his and/or her summer to its fullest!!
