Can I Be A Diver?
Yes, you can. The idea of breathing while actually underneath the water can be a bit intimidating at first. But with a little nose for adventure and a few hours of training, most people in good health can become confident divers; safe and competent ready to explore the world beneath the water. To become a full-fledged diver, you must take a certification course from a qualified instructor licensed by one of the national scuba training agencies. Think about it, 71% of the world is covered by water, so your play ground will be unlimited.
