WHY SCUBA DIVING? Going further and deeper in answering such a question is pinpointing that few experiences can compare with the thrill of exploring inner space. The oceans, which comprise over 70% of the planet, make the earth a unique member of the solar system – perhaps even the universe. Yet, while man has walked on the moon, he has only begun to explore his own water planet. As air-breathing creatures, man has evolved and adapted to life on Terra Firma. He is used to the phenomena that surrounds him. He expects to hear and see in a very predictable manner. Unless disrupted by illness, he is also familiar with how the body functions in the air environment. Under water, we are suddenly in a new world where the rules appear different. The novice diver may have trouble interpreting and becoming familiar with the new sensations common to the underwater realm. Still, while the experience of being under water may be unique and sometimes puzzling, there is no need for it to be frightening. The same physical laws that govern the universe topside apply underwater, too. The difference is that sub aquatic phenomena, such as pressure and the unique properties of the amazing substance called water, require some understanding and severe training.
