i was surfing and checking out a dive agency's website.
http://www.dolphinscuba.com.sg/index.php i was surfing the site just now, and i realised that although it said that it opened in 1995, it isnt really very good. they go to very few places and only have 5 instructors.

then i realised that there's a link, saying "blog". its the blog of the agency. however, when i read what the dive instructor said, i dont really agree with him.


to quote :" don't mean any of this as a criticism towards the divers or their instructors; but I often see people lacking in skills and gear. Let me explain more; what about the over weighted diver? I have often seen and helped over weighted divers, you know the ones who sink to the bottom and have to keep pushing them up! When they have a problem sinking, they immediately think they should be wearing more weight (unfortunately they have either forgotten what their instructor told them, or weren’t told). Relax, control your breathing (deep and slow) and your buoyancy will improve; if you have problems sinking or floating up make sure you breath out completely. Remember, you should be floating above the reef!"

cant say that i agree with the instructor. because after u are down underwater, your air tank gets lighter and lighter as u breathe in the air. so if u're a big "drinker" of air, u'll most probably find urself above others much earlier b4 the dive is over. do u know that how bad is it to struggle to go back to the depth of ur buddies? its not as though that you are running out of air. its juz that the tank is slightly more empty than your friends! oh ya, and what u think is "not expensive" may be "expensive" to others..

PS to James : if you're reading this, sorry if its offending, but i'm a person who must really speak my mind.. side note, and my instructor did told me how to sink. to quote you, "unfortunately they have either forgotten what their instructor told them, or weren't told".. i think its quite offending good instructors around the world..
