Diving is a very unusual hobby. In recent years, the number of people involved in this sport has increased significantly. Men, women and children learn diving techniques. When the necessary skills are acquired, the question arises as to which place to choose for diving.
Types of diving
There are 4 types of diving: recreational, sports, technical and professional. The latter is sometimes called diving. Underwater competition is understood as competition under water. Technical diving is diving to a depth of more than 40 meters that requires special skills, such as diving under ice or into a sunken ship. Recreational diving is fun scuba diving during leisure hours with a diving depth of no more than 40 meters.
Diving is scuba diving with special equipment.
If you are familiar with the first three types, for you the question of where you can practice is not worth it. For beginners, this question is extremely relevant. It is not so easy for city dwellers to find places where they offer to dive deep. However, in big cities such as Moscow, this problem is being solved quite successfully. There are diving training courses, qualified instructors, all the necessary equipment, and most importantly, equipped diving sites. Therefore, in your free time from work, you can master this interesting hobby in your city, and during your vacation - enjoy the beautiful views of the underwater world already on one of the seas.
