Diving I've been in my blood for a long time, diving can be arranged anywhere, the main thing is to have water, but I will never get a special impression when diving into the waters of Thailand, I will tell you about diving in Thailand in this article.
It all started back in 1991, when I, the author of the blog, was only 7 years old. My parents brought me to Feodosia, from here began my hobby for diving, which I do and sow the day. In Feodosia, for the first time I saw big water, being frightened for a long time I could not approach the water of Feodosia.
After long persuasion of some woman, I nevertheless overpowered myself and entered the Black Sea, I liked it so much that it was already difficult to catch me. There I learned to swim and stay on the water, for diving there were already all the prerequisites.
But if we talk about diving, then swimming skills are meaningless as usual keeping on the surface of the water. You may not be able to swim at all: the main thing is to be able to drown! And also to breathe correctly, to master some technical tricks, so that it does not twist, chatter, and turn over; to be relaxed and not to panic are the main rules of diving.
My first dive was just in Vietnam, when we took an excursion literally in one day of diving in Vietnam, and in any other country you will be taught everything you need to know, the main thing is to pay money and you will be a diving master in five minutes ... If you decide to take a course on vacation to Vietnam and do not know where to relax in Vietnam, which resort to choose, then read the detailed article by clicking on the link.
All beginners for the first time should dive to no more than 12 meters, then you will need to learn how to fill the mask with water in order to clean it, then you will be taught to regulate the position of your body in space with the help of breathing - nothing unusual, but fascinating from the first minutes of diving.
The underwater world of Thailand when diving
I managed to take up diving more seriously only in Thailand, it is in Thailand that the diving service is more developed for tourists. The underwater world of Thailand simply shocked me with its beauty, when for the first time you sink to the bottom and see everything for the first time, you are guaranteed to take your breath away from what you see.
The underwater world of Thailand when diving is amazingly beautiful. You will see with your own eyes many fish and other sea creatures that you have only seen in pictures. Once there were five of us diving: myself, two Koreans, an American and a Vietnamese. It was a sunny day.
We swim out from behind the rock and stumble upon a huge black grouper (a family of rock perches), about three meters long. Delighted, we swim after him and meet two more cuttlefish and a moray eel.
Diving in Thailand, and in any other water in the world, it is necessary strictly in clear weather. On clear days, you can meet completely unusual fish under the water, you can admire them, but you cannot touch them. Danger can lie in wait for you under water anytime, anywhere.
For example, if while diving you touch “lionfish”, Then the pressure will jump to 300 and no one will pull you out from a depth of thirty meters. Poisonous Spikes of Stonefish - Instant Death. Once I was swimming, and a beautiful yellow snake darted past me. The diving instructor shows me: "Freeze, danger!”. I froze, she swam past.
After diving on the surface, I was told that it was the most venomous snake in the world. Diving is a risky and expensive activity, it requires a lot of good equipment, physical and psychological preparation, but the emotional charge that you get from diving more than pays for everything in the first dive under the water.
What emotions do people experience when diving?
Emotions while scuba diving in Thailand just gorgeous. Fear, adrenaline in your blood, delight from what you saw, hysteria that you are alone with the elements - these are the emotions a person experiences during the first dive.
Diving is an outlet for a person who cannot live without water, after diving, it will be easy to pull you back into the water, it is calm, beautiful, you want to philosophize. You immersed yourself in and think, how valuable is everything that remains on the surface, some experiences, problems, and it turns out that everything is meaningless, except for your life.
What is an experienced diver?
If you decide go diving seriously and more than once, soon you will have to become a “shark diving” or an experienced diver. If you compare me with diving sharks, who have already had over a thousand dives, I am still a beginner, I have only 40 dives.
But on the other hand, I already have a dive to a depth of 40 meters - and this is not the limit of recreational diving (zone D), technical diving begins below, it is a hundred times more dangerous. Other air mixtures are used there, because the risk of getting oxygen poisoning during such diving is much higher.
I don’t know how far diving will take you with the flow of this sport, but technical diving is already much more interesting than ordinary diving.
Depth 40 meters for the average diving person
At a depth of 40 meters, it is simply amazing. First, the sensations are incredible. If you imagine what thickness of water above you, in what space you are. It's just space. The dive to 40 meters for me started from a small rock on the surface, the wind was blowing and the water was restless.
But the lower we sank, the quieter the sea became. The rock ledge turned out to be a sheer wall strewn with beautiful blue corals. And fish, fish are different, colored. We swam about ten meters from the wall and swam into a space where the bottom could no longer be seen below us, as if we were in zero gravity. And we went down to a depth of forty meters.
And there are already other fish, less colorful, and the colors are completely different, muted. Every 10 meters some spectra disappear. For example, if you cut a finger at a depth, the blood will not be red, but blue. At forty meters, where the light practically does not penetrate, you look at your partner, and he is cyanotic, all the veins are visible.
You ask with gestures:"You're okay, how are you?" And he replies: "Everything is fine, but what is wrong with you?"
What happens to the body when diving?
At thirty meters, when diving, nitrogen anesthesia begins to act - this is a given. It is impossible to predict who reacts to it, but everyone feels it. At a depth of 38 meters, I began to laugh uncontrollably, when water began to flow into my mouth, I realized that something was wrong.
I show the diving instructor that I have a problem with my head. He swam up and brought me to my senses with a kick in the ass. When strange behavior begins, the main thing is to stop, breathe slowly, go up a little and it goes away.
At forty meters under water, nitrogen is five times more than on the surface, so one breath there is equal to five simultaneous breaths on the ground - you have to get used to it. The instructor warned me that oversaturation with nitrogen acts on him like a sleeping pill, he doesn't want to swim anywhere, he hides in some cave and falls asleep there.
They laughed and forgot, and then at the depths he took and tear himself away from me, and swam towards the cave. I'm in a panic for him. And the cave turned out to be through. Then on the surface it turned out that he saw a reef shark there and wanted to show me, but I was so worried that I did not notice it.
