If you're looking for boat diving in Sydney, look no further than our tips and tricks! Our experienced guides will take you to the best dive sites and help you get the most out of your boat diving experience. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced diver, we have something for everyone!
1. Choose the Right Dive Site
Making the right dive site selection in Sydney is critical to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience. Choose dive sites that fits your skill level but also encompasses features of interest that will further enhance your underwater experience!
2. Bring the Right Gear
Taking a boat dive requires having all of the right gear; for Sydney, this means bringing a 5-7mm wetsuit, fins, snorkel and mask, a properly calibrated regulator and dive computer, BCD plus weights and safety sausage. Make sure you are equipped with everything necessary before embarking on your unforgettable dive!
3. Consider Sea Sickness
If you are prone to seasickness, be sure to take precautionary measures ahead of time. Try an over-the-counter remedy or talk to your doctor about a prescription medication that can help.
4. Make Sure the Boat Is Well-Equipped
When you're choosing a boat for your dive, make sure that it is well-equipped with all the safety gear you need. This includes life jackets, emergency oxygen, AED and a first aid kit.
5. Listen Carefully to the Dive Briefing
Your dive master will give you a dive briefing before you get in the water. This is important, so you must listen carefully and follow all the safety guidelines they provide.
6. Be cautious of Marine Life
When diving, it is essential to be aware of the marine life in your environment. From sharks and whales to coral and sea turtles, the ocean is home to a wide variety of fascinating creatures. It’s important to remember that we are visitors in their homes and must respect them as such. Always follow the “look but do not touch” rule and keep a safe distance when possible.
7 . Rise Slowly to Avoid decompression sickness
As you rise to the surface after your dive, make sure that you do it slowly to avoid decompression sickness. This condition can occur when too much nitrogen is in your body and can be very dangerous. Ascend at the rate indicated on your computer and make a safety stop at 5 meters as indicated on your dive computer.
By following these tips, you can ensure that your boat diving experience in Sydney is safe and enjoyable! So don't forget to check out our guide
