How to Become a Scuba Diver | Everything You Want to Know about freediving

1- Find a dive Center 

It's time to find a dive center, a place that has a unique smell and should be made of neoprene. If not, buy them a Glade supplement.

Typically, in a dive center, you will find large older men. But don't be scared they're like teddy bears. Unlike Greg stay away from Greg 

2- Find an instructor 

Your instructor is the coolest person you will ever meet. All they want to do is hang out with you providing that you pay them of course. 

Try to make friends with them on Facebook they'll love that, think of the as your older sibling they'll give you all the advice you need on scuba diving not your personal life, no one wants to hear about your annoying husband Cheryl 

3- Buy a mask

You've been waiting to try out your mask as soon as you bought it, and now it's time to test it out in the tub everybody does it, just ignore the weird looks your partner gives you when they walk in. 

4-Get qualified 

It is a simple approved / failed course. All you have to do is take off your mask about 50 times. If you study the algorithms and then find that your dive computer does everything for you, you will also wonder why your wetsuit sticks and smells a little strange.

5-Rise and shine

Now is the time to get your own diving equipment, re-rent your home, buy a kit, take out a second mortgage and retake it.

10- Underwater photos 

Make sure that you post at least a hundred pictures of your last dive trip to impress your Facebook friends. Your profile picture should also be a picture of your dive.
