Scuba diving can be dangerous when proper safety precautions, equipment and people are disregarded. That is why getting certified is so important-- we will teach you everything you need to be able to ensure the safety of yourself and others while out on the water, and so long as you follow these core teachings, you will know exactly how to prevent dangers from happening. Of course, as with most hobbies and physical activities, there is always the potential of accidents or injury, and that's why it's so important for you to be in the water with other people who can help monitor each other and assist if something does go wrong. In our classes, you will always have The Bearded Scuba Diver present, who is trained as a rescue diver and knows exactly how to keep you safe as you are learning how to navigate this new adventure.
The most common issues divers encounter—sunburn, seasickness, and dehydration—are all preventable through watching your food intake and putting on proper protective measures. While injuries from marine life, like scrapes and stings, can happen, they can be avoided by wearing a wet suit, avoiding the sand, and being mindful of where you place your hands and feet. Another concern some people have is in regards to water pressure. You will be taught during your classes to safely equalize your ear pressure and ascend/descend slowly to avoid potential harm from going through water pressure too quickly. If you are concerned about any of these issues or other dangers, feel free to ask The Bearded Scuba Diver all the questions you want! He's been doing this for years and would love to help people who are interested learn more about how we stay safe as a team.
