Once you've got used to the thrill of looking around under water, you'll probably want to do something while you're down there. Whether you've just taken up the sport, or have logged more than 1000 dives, further training is a great way to enhance skills you already have, or acquire new ones.
Training makes for purposeful diving.
Having got to grips with the gear and basic underwater technique, many divers will want to 'skill up'. From there, they might, perhaps, want to try their hand at underwater search and recovery techniques, or get into boat handling. Courses aimed at developing skills and creating well-rounded divers are available in most clubs and schools. Once they have acquired the basic diving skills, many divers look for an activity to busy themselves with under water. It might be something which has already caught their imagination out of the water - archaeology, photography or marine biology.
