Diving: A Life-long Adventure...
Diving is an opportunity to get to know a new, absolutely different world of underwater kingdom... and one who had once been under waters could never live without this world, without this careless peace, these bubbles striving towards the surface; and will be forever bound to come back under the water time and again...
The English word diving meaning submerging under water has now strongly entered the Russian language and become popular in the divers' environment. Mass diving as an entertainment and sports was started by Jacques Yves Cousteau. Just him and his friend, the French engineer Gagnan, we have to thank for the invention of the aqualung. The appearance of Cousteau's aqualung entailed the foundation of international federations and associations currently numbering millions of adepts and fans all over the world.
Diving is a chance to feel weightlessness, free cosmic flight, the ability to move in 3D space (right/left, forward/back, up/down). Besides, diving is a challenge of the Abyss, a wish to get out to warm lands (a salt sea provided), it is a pike in the Sloka Quarry, an opportunity to watch huge schools of barracuda and tuna, amazing sea turtles and sharks, indescribably wonderful small bare-gilled molluscs, these night diving and touching the secrets of sunken ships, and meeting new interesting people...
Many of us quite justly consider diving as one of most perfect forms of meditation, as when diving a diver is alone with himself in a world of absolute harmony.
Diving means surprised and smiling faces after you are out of marine depths, underwater photo and video allowing you to imprint yourself on the unforgettable submarine world background and share in these impressions with your friends!
Diving is entertainment for children and their parents, grannies and granddads...
Families diving together proved themselves happy and cheerful!!! In other words, it's a family recreation enabling you to be together under the water, not only above!
Any "land" human can become a diver, and very quickly: you just have to master the training course. And then the whole amazing submarine world will open up for you!
