Sorry if it put you off! For balance, diving can also be a very magical and surprisingly calm/zen-like experience. The best diving experiences I have had were in fairly shallow warm water (10-12m?) with great visibility. It is amazing seeing see-turtles, schools of fish, corals. It is like visiting a completely different world!
Basically, as long as you dive in much better conditions than what you trained/qualified for, you will have a great time. Well worth doing.
I just wish more dive shops were on the more conservative side. And that they had better boats with less fumes and less waiting around!
- 101008 5y agoI totally believe you, that diving in shallow water must be amazing and not that dangerous, but now I am scared that some teacher may start there and then "obligate" you to go deeper! "Just a few more meters, everything will be fine" :) Thanks anyway for worrying about me, ha!
- bonzini 5y agoEvery dive is briefed on the boat. These days they will also have a website explaining the dives, the required certifications and maximum depth reached. "A few meters more" is not dangerous per se unless you go below 24 meters (80 ft), but I agree it would be very bad to do that without the divemaster telling you before and also without him/her being a certified instructor.
