What is the most recognized diving certification?
PADI (the Professional Association of Diving Instructors) is the most recognized dive training organization worldwide with over 30 million divers and counting. What are the Differences between SSI and PADI? There is almost no difference in the actual training. The quality of the scuba diving course strongly depends on your dive instructor no matter what organization you should choose to certify with.Switching organizations means you’ll need to learn new skills and teaching methods. That said, many padi divemasters successfully transition to becoming ssi dive instructors and complete the ssi instructor training course without any issues.If you’re looking to become professional as a scuba diving instructor you may want to opt for PADI since it is the more well-known of the two. If you want to pursue diving as a career (and not be a dive instructor) then SDI may work better for you, given their connection to TDI.PADI Open Water Diver is the most popular beginner certification level. A highly-trained PADI Instructor will teach you to scuba dive in a relaxed, supportive learning environment. When you finish the course, you will have the skills and knowledge to dive at home or abroad with another certified diver.
What is the golden rule of diving?
The same thing Mike did — the Golden Rule of scuba diving. Breathe normally; never hold your breath. The rest, in most cases, is pretty much secondary. So, remember this: among all the rules of scuba diving, the most important is this one. Never hold your breath. Breathe.Never hold air in your lungs as it may result in rupturing them from too much gas. The chances are even more during an ascent. Don’t go alone for a dive and take someone with you. You may encounter bad situations underwater that can be fixed by your buddy.
What is the 120 rule in diving?
It’s mainly for recreational divers using air, not Nitrox or other fancy gas mixes. Here’s how it works: Your max depth (in feet) + your bottom time (in minutes) should be less than or equal to 120. That’s it. So if you plan to dive to 60 feet, the rule says you shouldn’t stay down longer than 60 minutes. The need to do decompression stops increases with depth. A diver at 6 metres (20 ft) may be able to dive for many hours without needing to do decompression stops. At depths greater than 40 metres (131 ft), a diver may have only a few minutes at the deepest part of the dive before decompression stops are needed.These tell you how long and deep you can dive to reduce DCS risks and help prevent the bends. The biggest pressure difference is from 10 meters (33 feet) to the surface, so ascending too quickly at the end of your dive could lead to DCS.Try Dive” experiences are done in very shallow water, no more than 40′ deep. At this depth, you’ve got over two hours before you’d need to do decompression stops to reduce your risk of DCS; most new divers will burn though a tank long before they get to any real risk of DCS at that shallow of a depth.Here’s how it works: Your max depth (in feet) + your bottom time (in minutes) should be less than or equal to 120. That’s it. So if you plan to dive to 60 feet, the rule says you shouldn’t stay down longer than 60 minutes.
