Do I Need to Know How To Swim to Scuba Dive?

In the unlikely event that your BCD (Buoyancy Control Device) was to falter then there would be no device to kee [...]

The Phuket scuba diving industry is heavily reliant on international visitors and some businesses are almost 99% dependent on international divers. It was a very tough time for scuba diving in Phuket. A lot of scuba diving instructors returned to their native countries and employment within the scuba diving was slashed. The pand [...]
