Scuba Diving for Non-Swimmer, Is it Safe?

It takes courage lol or maybe I was just out of my mind when I tried it but still a great experience, unforgettable one!

There's my sons video in there you can see the fishes and what it looks like underwater. There's shipwreck as well.

So it really is like in movies. I want to see those shipwrecks ;;-;; maybe i can still get treasures from those. But all in all, jow was the training like? Did they make you do it in the ocean right away?

Thank you for reading Jeniros. Hopefully, those who doubt in their mind can somehow relate to this experience. Cheers

Thanks for the kind words of welcome. I do everything as it was written on the instructions at the beginning of the site and my comments are hidden, I don't know where I'm wrong and how to get out of this.

You can try just see how you feel when those apparatus are over you. You don't need to know how to swim if you're with a diver but yes it's better if we know lol. Haha we can't be together, we will both panic! Thank you.

Really? You're into everything my Dear Snezana! What else you didn't do? Did you climb mountains too?

Wow, that's nice to know you love diving @bankarica! Haha so you're pieces lol

Thank you @thremos. Yes yes, you should try this! And yes love that hand signal, it was fun doing it under the sea. Cheers!

Thank you Lewiss, it's not complete, just the basic information I also learned. Have you scuba diving before?

Not yet but curious how it feels

No Marielle it's the diving instructor. My husband tried but can't breathe under water.

Oh noo! Hope you did it perfectly

You can definitely try this Glori. I'm definitely not a swimmer but I still tried.

My goodness! Hello Yann.Poire, wow! We've got a diving instructor on board! That's amazing. And did I really describe it okay 😄 anything you want to add? Any tips? Thank you so much for your feedback! 😀

It is but we have a professional diver with us. He/she will be with you in the entire time. You don't need to know how to swim but you must be comfortable with water.

Wow! Then that's so cool. Is it in our country? In Philippines?

Yes bheng he/she will be with you on the entire time so less worry. You just have to be calm and breathe normally.

That's good to know po n knew that those divers or the one na pinuntahan nyo po jn ay all well skilled n all professional po dhil my PADI din po d2 sa Boracay n gnyang-gnyan po tlga ung nandito po

My love, I never thought I can do that but I did! So you might want to give it a go when there's a chance to do so. Haha and you're experiencing same as me. And didn't know it was deep and nobody was there to help me. Good, I was save in time. Terrifying but still a great experience/lesson learned. Thank you my dear. I hope you're keeping well. xxx

Allah saved my life that day. There was a boy who grabbed me and threw me out and I was terrified for the future. I am happy to see you now, it seems that I have also learned to swim. hehehe My sweetie

Yes you should dear! Just try everything when we're given a chance lol

That one is the same, you can see the fish clearly on the shoreline. Tia loves it! Can you swim? I can't 😂

I can float in the water facing the sun or facing underwater. I can swim like a dog but staying in the water in one place is something I should still learn. Haha

I don't think I will ever learn to swim. Even Papa gave up on me haha.. The dog is better than me he always says! Thank you, I laugh at that lol

Hahaha. My uncles were very persistent to us to learn swimming. We had no other choice but to force ourselves floating. 😆😆

Ako sa tabi tabi lang kain ng mais 😂 Nahiya akong ishare tawang tawa ako sa katakawan ko.

Haha. That's valid naman. Masarap kaya ang mais. Mas bet ko ang grilled mais. Sayo ba?

Nagtitinda lasing in-law na mais dun sa diving site. Ngata tuloy ako ng ngata. Andami daming tao ako lang kumakain tapos nakaupo lang sa mababaw. Nakakatawang nakakaawa pag di marunong lumangoy. Pasensya na huh napagod na akong mag english talaga 😅

Haha. I understand. Kakapagod din mg isip ng ingles eeh. But it's really fun learning to swim though. 😆😍

Tinuruan naman sa mababaw kaya anlakas ng loob ko tapos nung nasa kalaliman na ay susku po! Di ko na alam ang gagawin. Naku di tayo pwedeng magsama nila @ruffa o kaya tabing dagat ang peg! 😅

🤣🤣 langoy aso lng akin.. Mas magalin pa mga kapatid ko lumangoy sakn eh . ganun tlga pag first time magpapanic ka . kya d ko na inateempt pa pumunta sa malalim. Pro gusto ko itry nxt time .kog buo na loob ko 😅😅

Yan, tatlo ma tayong hindi maalam lumangoy ahahaha

Maybe you're working all your life, take a break as well and explore! And yes please do, you'll gonna love it! Yey, we got many diving sites in the Philippines! Cheers Admiral

many thanks too, and more blessings come our way. 😅👍

I take the notion to try and just did it. It's not what I expect it to be, but glad that I experienced it. Hopefully, you face your fear as well and one day might give it a go! Cheers Cecs!

Wag tayong magsasama Ruffa at malulunod tayong dalawa! Ay hindi tayo pareho marunong lumangoy, kahit kampay aso ay hindi e! Mamamatay 😂

Ahahaha, grabi sa mamamatay ahaha. Ay wag talaga dapat, need mg professiinal, or kahit ata may professional, baka madamay sya sa pagkalunod, awan baga bat di ako natuto lumangoy. Sana inaral ko, wala kasing gwapo na magtuturo 😣😂

Really, you tried it? :) Why you got scared Wesa?

That is my first time and I felt strange. Maybe that's the reason

I will remember that when I'm drowning @cCryptoWordsmith! 😂 Now tell me, can you swim? Have you tried scuba diving???

Lol...yes i can swim, and i have tried scuba diving (once). i took lessons in a swimming pool, so it's not quite the same as your experience.

the experience was disorienting for me, since i found that i was holding my breath more often then not. it wasn't intuitive for me to breathe naturally with the apparatus and tank, so i can understand how you may have felt in some ways.

however, i think knowing how to swim does make a big difference.

but i applaud you for facing the challenge. many people choose not to face these types of challenges. 👏👏👏

thx for the tip!

You know Crypt maybe if I know how to swim I won't be panicking. And glad to know you can swim! 👍 And tried it already, you surely can relate how I feel. Have you experience that ear pressure as if your eardrum going to explode? It's really sore!

i was just in a swimming pool, so my experience can't compare 100% to yours...but i can relate if you don't know how to swim...it's a strange feeling being underwater and expecting to breathe!

You can give it a go Jabs! Can you swim?

No, I can't. 😢

Can you swim? Seriously you haven't done scuba diving yet? Ow common! And haha I remember you're not really outgoing, how I say that?

Yes, I'm a decent swimmer. Swimming is a pretty good workout, so of course I tried it for some time. 😁

But you're right. Scuba diving is more a holiday thing and I haven't been the best traveler and holiday goer yet. 😅🙈

But it looks like fun. I will make sure to try it. 😅

If ever, which country will you go to? You cannot do that on the pool so you have to go on a holiday somewhere. Where? 🙃

I don't know yet. 😅 I will let my next girlfriend decide where we will do that. 😅

If I learned one thing from my last relationship, it's that I will have to compromise more in the holiday department. 🙈

Hahaha. Oh Martin, Martin whoever is the luckyyyy? next girlfriend would be I hope you two will enjoy the HOLIDAY DEPARTMENT that needs to compromise. 😅 You have to save now lol

Yes, that's true. Hopefully Binance will not go the Cred route. 😅🙈 At least not before I send my BCH to a different wallet.

But I'm not in a hurry to find a girlfriend. 😅 I will take my time and not rush anything. If someone comes into my life, that's great. If not, that is fine, too. 😎

If it happens, we'll watch together again 😆

And oh, like really??? Come to think about it, you're only 35 so might wait till your 50 maybe them you can rush hahaha.

Who needs a girlfriend when you enjoy your own company? 😅

Yeah, I didn't plan it like that. 😅🙈 But now that it's like this, I'm trying to make the best of it. I think relationships cannot be rushed. That's why I'm taking my time. Even though I'm not exactly a spring chicken any more 😅🙈

If only I can play cupid and send you one now lol. How you want it to arrive? By broomstick?

Haha, no, please don't send me a witch. 😅😂🙈

I was down 30 metres! 🙈 We're about to dive 2 more spots but I can't after that one. Haha. Still terrifying but I moved on. Just not good when you can't swim. You can't think positive and stay calm. Sad.

Wow. That's a lot for a panic attack. Did the instructor get you to breath from the machine or did she take you to the surface?

She did take me to the surface but before that, she's trying to negotiate for me to stay for a while so they can take video. And how am I to do that? They ask me after to try again (just for the video/pictures) and they won't let me say no, still push me to do it. Like I know they need to make money but it's not nice to experience that kind of service in a way.

I can imagine how terrible that must have been for you. 🙈

You will not believe it, I LISTEN EAGERLY AND MEMORIZE the hand language. When I was on ain't mode I'm trying to speak with my mouth and my hands just don't know what signal to do. For goodness sake I'm laughing at my self now.

Have you ever tried scuba diving @idiosyncratic?

Not yet dear 😢 I'll start with bungee jumping then I'm going to try scuba diving over the next years I HOPE ^^

Hey, you give me that idea! I would love that, I would like to try bunjee jumping as well. But I'm no good at heights but maybe I'll have fun and eventually like it! Let's cheers we can do that on the coming years! Cheers my dear!

Thank you @alexnderdgreat dear! I'm very pleased to hear such words from you. Yes I should have remembered the sign language but because of panic I forgot everything. Cheers!

It's normal to get panic and there is adrenaline too and you are thinking for everything will be fine, and something break that opinion and give your head negative pictures which lead to panic. But you are fighter as you presented and everything is just fine.

Marija you're very like me but not the CAN SWIM part lol. I never like the feeling of seagrass or something like that on my feet and rocks aswell. Luckily in there the bottom is sand just, you can see it in the video.

Yes, I saw sand on the first shot, and I like that. Only in such places I like to dive :)

Haha, we both can't swim lol. And it's okay if you can't swim underwater someone guiding you anyway as long as you're brave enough 😅 I have 1 boy and a girl. Maybe you haven't seen them in my intro.

I will second the motion that you should! Do you know how to swim? Lol

Oh yes, I'm a great swimmer

Wow! Good for you! I wish I can swim too. I tried to learn but there's no future lol

Thank you dear Khali. Can you swim?

best in school days
