Gliding through hatch covers and swimming along promenade decks that once held crowds of people, the occasional souvenir maybe found to take home, that is, as long as you have declared it to the appropriate authorities first. Scuba diving is a worldwide sport. Divers enthuse about the underwater world from the cold seas of the Arctic and British Columbia, through to the exciting and teeming life and wrecks of northern European waters and onto the brilliant and colourful spectacles of the Coral Reef. Once you are truly bitten by the diving bug, you are a diver for life. Gear Equipment will be provided by the club or centre where you learn.
Most divers purchase their own regulators and weights and, some, even bottles.
As bottles are expensive and heavy to transport, most prefer to borrow or hire them. Wrist mounted diving computers which calculate exactly how long you can remain underwater and at what depth, are a common accessory.
