Diving Khao Lak – Tips To Become Successful Diver

by Similan Scuba SimilanScuba

The fact can’t be denied that to become a successful and skilled diver, you need to go through a proper training. You should always note the key phrase and then develop by yourself. Improvement is something that tends to happen with every important dive. So, here is a complete tips and guides for divers for constantly enhancing their diving skills. 

Engaging your brain

One should never blindly follow the divemaster. Always remember the fact that a good diver is the one who uses his own brain. This doesn’t meant that you should avoid what your instructor is saying they know better that is why he is your master. But ensure, you are not at his mercy for directions all the time. You should be in fact well prepared in case they go out of sight for a while.

Test your weight

This is of course important since you are weighted. You can lock your ankles together and also then fold your arms to your chest, so you don’t scull. When you exhale, you should then sink and when you inhale, you should then come up the same amount. So, if you sink or not coming up when your inhale, you are too heavy. If you go up and down by the same amount, this is your correct weight for that gear combo. It can then definitely change a little depending on the body type and also saltiness of the sea but it would then definitely give you a starting point.

Know your air usage

This is something that you could definitely obtain with practice. You should always start doing this exercise – before you start your ascent, note your depth and air. Before start your ascent, you should always note your depth and air. Then you can notice how much you have when you surface.

Fix your buoyancy

So, how do you fix it actually? After every 5 to 10 minutes into your dive, always ensure you are over a sandy patch or you have a water column below you and then stop kicking. You should always try to stay more or also less where you are, going down especially when you exhale and up when you inhale.

Dive with buddy

You must remember the fact that diving Khao Lak alone is always a risky job. In this case finding a perfect companion can definitely make your job easy. It can also create lots of fun at the same time.
