10 Reasons to Try a Dive with Lough Derg Sub Aqua Club
If you are wondering if scuba diving is something you might like to try, here are 10 reasons why you should.
1. It’s easier than you think. You just need to be able to swim and breath. A qualified instructor will explain everything you need to know and accompany you during your dive.
2. You get to experience what it’s like to be in space. Once you have your underwater buoyancy under control you will experience a feeling of weightlessness similar to being in space.
3. You will enjoy the silence. Above water we are bombarded with sounds and noise. Beneath the surface you will just hear your own breathing. It is incredibly relaxing.
4. You will be introduced to a whole new world of underwater life. The seas are teeming with life of all shapes, sizes and colours.
5. You will meet new people and make new friends. There is a great sense of camaraderie among divers.
