Find a good instructor
When it comes to an adventure sport such as scuba diving, you really have to do your research well and pick an instructor who not only has sound knowledge and experience, but also the patience to answer all queries. If you have friends who have learned scuba diving, their recommendations can be taken.
Investing in the gear
If you are passionate about the sport and wish to enjoy a lifetime of scuba diving, you will do well to invest in at least the basic scuba diving gear. There is a difference between rented gear and your own gear. One will be more comfortable when using private gear. This confidence will help you remain calm and composed when navigating away from danger, should an emergency arise.
Choosing the dive spot
Once the confined water dives have been mastered you will have the option of transferring to any preferred location to complete the final phase of learning which is, open water dives. Exotic places such as Maldives are ideal to complete the most exciting part of your learning process! You can stay at a resort such as Finolhu Baa Atoll Maldives which also offers many a Maldives diving package.
Take it slow
Be patient and kind to yourself and keep in mind that you are still very much a beginner. So be comfortable to go at your own pace and don’t attempt to keep up with the professional scuba divers. Understand that they too would have at one point been apprehensive learners so don’t be embarrassed about your pace.
