About a year ago I blogged about mermaid diving and its rising popularity, not only among divers, but attracting more people to diving in new ways. Even if you didn’t see that post, you’re likely aware of mermaid diving because it’s getting lots of media attention.
As a core component of PADI’s Conservation Strategy, we commit to “Protect 30% of the ocean through partner collaboration and Adopt the Blue Program”. To do so, we aim to create a global network of diver protected dive sites that can support the global effort to create significantly more marine protected areas (MPAs).
Learning to dive opens a whole new world—one that comes overflowing with new toys! There’s no shortage of items a diver will want, especially when just starting out, so Scuba Diving’s editors selected nine that are especially useful at the beginning of a diver’s journey. We hope these help inspire and execute all the adventures waiting beneath the waves.
As scuba divers, we get to explore places others don’t, encountering thrills, marine life, and adventure along the way. Joining PADI Club can be a great way to meet like-minded people. You will get to meet divers in your community, learn from the club members and plan dive trips. Recently, our PADI Club members went on a dive trip to the Florida Keys.
Seasons Greetings? Try Seas and Greetings! We may be a bit biased here at Scuba Diving magazine, but we think the ocean makes everything better. This includes the holidays, and gifting a dive certification is a great way to add a little salt to the season. Now hear us out! We aren’t saying this just because we love diving (though, duh, of course we do because it’s great). We have six reasons right here for you about why this is the best gift idea you’ve ever heard.
