5 Reasons Why You Should Do Your Open Water Training With LSD This is seriously challenging as I can think of 100’s of reasons why to become a scuba diver. We live in a crazy busy world with demands coming at us from all angles. To get away from it we sometimes turn off our phones but imagine switching off completely as you immerse yourself in a silent world and all you hear are the trickle of bubbles you exhale. Even now during this London Lockdown you can start the online theory of learning to become a scuba diver getting ready for when the restrictions are lifted. One – You Time This is your time away from the world. No emails, no voicemails or other day to day distractions that entangle our lives. Here you are weightless and worry free as you let the problems from the surface wash away, if only for an hour or so. You deserve this. Two – Open to Everyone Contrary to some silly rumours you don’t need to be an Olympic swimmer to become a scuba diver. If your only swim style is the doggie paddle then you are in. It’s that simple. The theory behind scuba diving is super easy to grasp too as its designed for 10 year olds and above. Scuba is for everyone no matter your mental or physical abilities. Three – Passport to Travel Once you get your PADI Open Water certification you will need to review the world map again as you now will be travelling to places that you previously thought were beyond your reach. Remote islands, inland lakes, underwater wrecks and coral cleaning stations will now be on your wish list destinations. Four – Learn a new language Forget French, German or Arabic. Your new language is used by every diver around the world. Being underwater we obviously can’t speak so we sign. You will learn the basics and then develop these to communicate with your buddies without having to surface. Five – Buddy Up When diving underwater we use the buddy system for safety. You may only have one buddy in the water but back on the surface watch these numbers rocket. Diving buddies become like family. With so many dive clubs out there it’s a fantastic social experience to mix with like-minded bubble junkies www.londonschoolofdiving.co.uk/start-diving/ https://bit.ly/3aKAUhT
