One of the great advantages of scuba diving is that it gives you the opportunity to get up close and personal with some amazing marine life. Of course, you can stop at the local aquarium to see fish and other marine life, but to be honest, it is as if you were diving when you see them in a natural habitat. It is particularly worth mentioning that you may have the opportunity to see marine life that is currently considered to be threatened. Let's take a look at some of the underwater animals you should try to see until they disappear forever.

Endangered shark

Diving in the waters where sharks are infested may sound good, but in fact the sharks you see when diving are extremely unlikely to attack.

“The best way to observe fish is to become an adult.” – Jacques Cousteau

There is no condemnation of the fact that in order to become a skilled diver, you must learn from a professional, but the complete myth behind this reality is that there is no scope for learning or improvement outside the formal curriculum environment. I am willing to be different. I agree that diving courses are important to take diving skills to the next level, but the fact is that such a course is just a starting point. They can give you a foundation and you have to build it through practice.

Pay attention to the key phrase – develop your own. Every time you dive, it will improve. So here are 10 tips for divers to improve their diving skills.

1. Attract your brain

The divemaster should not be blindly followed. A good diver is someone who uses his own brain. This does not mean that you should ignore what your tutor said…

Pearl Harbor is not the first destination that most divers think of when they want to dive in Hawaii. Hanauma Bay, Kaneohe Bay, Maui or Molokai are very famous and very popular.

The Pearl Harbor Sea Wall is the best tropical dive. This is a relaxing and enjoyable dive. You can snorkel on the ground, or SCUBA to dive to 60 feet. This is a good dive for beginners.

The real attraction of Pearl Harbor to me is the historical wreckage of the Japanese Navy’s Second World War.

I was fortunate to spend a few months in Oahu in 1983. I attended the Naval SCUBA School there.

Although I spent a lot of time in the water during my school, I didn't see much. We did most of the training in the lock of the submarine base. The water is dark, the surface is greasy, there is sewage and Arizona oil leaks.

In fact, when we left the water, we had to scrub our own oil with comet powder.

The real enjoyment for me is when I get off work…
