The Great Barrier Reef

Are you seen enough of this world? Lets discover the under water life. The Great barrier reef is the ultimate place to explore the water world. With SCUBA diving you almost become the water creature and just interfere with diverse species beneath but first take your SCUBA classes at the reef.

SCUBA DIVING

The playground is all set for the scuba diving at the great barrier reef. All you need is to dive in but hold on you must know the safety rules. Usually barrier reef is calm water find out the moderate depth and offcourse with diverse sea species else you could only find your school buddy. So get your SCUBA (Self Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus) first , wear it check it and try some low depth dive to just get familiar with. If you are a sinus or any other kind of patient that affects from atmospheric pressure should avoid SCUBA (as there are more easy ways of committing suicide). It is better to take your SCUBA diving training or classes first.

SNORKEL

If you feel its better to stay out, you can still snorkel around and have the compromised experience of this adventurous journey.


You don’t have to snorkel only but you have to snorkel fearlessly. All your fears which are related to you or the sea creatures must first be burried. Don’t think of JELLY FISH at all you will get the shock even by thinking of them. Long breath hold, a mask, right snorkel and big flippers are a good start. You can even dive in with all these stuffs.

Don’t get anxious about breathing through snorkel with your mask on, obviously it is for breathing not to disturb it. Again go out into the shallow water first check all is working fine. Get accustomed with your snorkelling by putting your face down watching through the mask and breathing via snorkel. What if your snorkel tube is bunged with water? Quite scary.. try to push the wate out by strong push through your mouth. Try to get snorkel with built in drainage valves which keeps it ease to push out the water. Try less swim more float means more adventure more fun less fatigue.
