Diving Guide to the Philippines 2015

(Barry) #1

SSI and PADI are especially well-
represented here. To take courses
during a dive holiday, check ahead
as the better dive centers offer
course in many languages and a
broad range of specialties.


Fitness - Diving properly and safely
requires a certain good fitness
level. Proper fitness will reduce
risk of injury and accident.
Remember, divers operate in a
water world somewhat foreign to
humans. Take some time to start a
fitness routine prior to a dive trip,
get a medical check-up and
remember to stay hydrated and
rested while on a dive holiday.
One can also help prevent things
like cramping by doing yoga and
other stretching moves. Many hotel
spas in the Philippines now offer
yoga courses and other such light


fitness programs that may fit well
with a diving regimen.
Spas also offer relaxing massages
that soothe sore muscles after a
long dive day.
