Don’t Forget to Add These Adventures to Your 2022 Bucket List

Is soul-searching or conquering-your-fears your motto for the year 2022? 2022 is undoubtedly the best opportunity for us to come up with the craziest bucket list before losing more of our best years to another pandemic. (Can’t even imagine thinking of it!) The list of adventures can go on and on, but we’ve listed the best ones for you to try out this year. Get set, it’s time to enter the new year with new spirits. Dance Under the Magical Alaska Lights It’s the best way to experience a fairytale moment of your own. Set up a camp, light up a bonfire and spend your time stargazing. Witnessing the serene colors of the northern lights will leave you in awe. We’re not sure what exactly magic looks like, but if there’s one thing we can relate it to, it’s this! Be Impulsive; Catch a Flight What’s the first thing you do while planning a trip? Yep, prepare. That’s right! However, do the opposite this time! Wake up on one fine morning, pack a backpack, ride to the airport and catch the next flight available. It’d be a lot more adventurous to travel as a wanderer than having an itinerary planned out. It’s an ideal way to fulfill the wanderlust! Sometimes not knowing your destination and feeling lost on the streets is the best way to explore the city and your inner self! Conquer Your Fears; Climb a Mountain! It can be the best way to feel that you’re on top of the world (quite literally,… Read More »Don’t Forget to Add These Adventures to Your 2022 Bucket List

7 Fun Facts About Scuba Diving

Scuba diving in the Red Sea sounds so fascinating that it makes all of us want to try it at least once in a lifetime. But do you have it on your bucket list yet? Before you start preparing for your trip to Aqaba, learn some fun facts about scuba diving. Did you know scuba stands for self-contained underwater breathing apparatus? Exciting new info, right? Let’s take a look at some other exciting facts; we bet you’d feel the impulse to jump right into the sea after reading these. It’s Like Meditating, Just Underwater! Diving into the sea helps your body get in control. Breathing deeply underwater can help you focus better and get rid of anxious thoughts. It also has healthy and positive effects on your mind. You Intentionally Try to Drown! It’s a common belief that it’s easier to drown while scuba diving, but surprisingly that’s not the case. The salty water of the sea has a heavier mass as compared to a human body that keeps it afloat. Thus, the equipment and weight system are designed to help you descend in the water. It Can be Really Noisy! Sound waves reach your inner ears through the water directly during a dive, and they travel five times faster in water. It can get quite intriguing to find out which direction the sounds are coming from. However, this can be difficult since everything may seem loud because of the difference in frequencies. There’s No Left or Right Shoe Imagine going for a scuba dive… Read More »7 Fun Facts About Scuba Diving

Scuba 101: What You Need to Know

If you’re planning on diving in the Red Sea, it’s best to go in prepared for the experience. Here’s a quick look at all you need to know to make the most out of your first scuba diving experience. The Dive Briefing is Important If it’s your first time diving, you might want to just jump right in. But amidst all the excitement, don’t forget to listen to the dive briefing clearly. It will help you understand how to handle yourself if something goes wrong and what you can expect to see once you’re underwater. It’s very important to keep yourself prepared and ask any questions you might have, regardless of what it might be. Better to ask a stupid question than begin your dive worrying about it. Breathe Normally Yes, you read that right! You don’t need to hold your breath. You should breathe normally when scuba diving. The air tank is going to help you, so there’s no need to worry about being out of breath! Double Check Safety Equipment Before scuba diving in Aqaba, make sure that you understand the use of your equipment. Remember to check your air gauge constantly. You should begin returning back to your starting point once your tank is half full. If you are unsure, show your gauge to your dive guide to confirm. Equalize Your Ears As you go underwater, the pressure builds up on your eardrums. It’s important to be conscious of this change as you can damage your ears without the right precautions.

Why Should Scuba Divers and Snorkelers Be Concerned About Safeguarding Our Oceans?

For the diving enthusiast, the ocean is like a second home, a place where you often go to nourish your soul and calm your mind. Even if you dive occasionally, you’ll have noticed how the condition of marine life has changed. Let’s have a look at why you should be more concerned about saving the oceans! Do Something About the Deteriorating Marine Life One-third of marine mammals are threatened due to pollution. Plastic pollution and climate change have endangered countless marine species. For instance, regular divers might have realized the shark populations are decreasing. As pollution rises, more species are threatened by human activities in and around the ocean. Moral Obligation to Save the Sea In a parallel world, sharks and turtles come to the land and litter around in your house. Absurd, no? The same way you wouldn’t litter in someone’s house, you shouldn’t throw trash into the sea. Respecting marine life is a basic rule that has to be followed when diving in Aqaba or any other ocean in the world. As a diver, you should feel a moral obligation to yourself to keep the sea clean and encourage others to do the same. Join PADI Aware and become involved in regular dive cleanups. Have Potential to Make a Difference If you belong to the scuba divers and snorkelers community, then you have the potential to educate others about the conditions of the aquatic world. You can take pictures underwater and use them as a powerful tool to emphasize the current state of… Read More »Why Should Scuba Divers and Snorkelers Be Concerned About Safeguarding Our Oceans?

Snorkeling Vs. Scuba Diving: Which One’s For You?

Do you want to do something exciting on your vacation getaway? Scuba diving and snorkeling in Aqaba are great ways to have an unforgettable experience! However, if you have the time to enjoy only one of the activities, you should know that snorkeling gives you the view of a wide-angle lens of a camera, while scuba-diving can let you enjoy the view of a macro lens. Here are some factors to consider to choose the best for you! Do You Have any Health Conditions? If you have any underlying health conditions like heart issues, asthma, lung or respiratory diseases, then don’t go for scuba diving as it can get pretty overwhelming. And avoid scuba-diving if you’re pregnant. Don’t be sad; you can still enjoy the ocean! Witness the marine life from the top of the ocean and opt for snorkeling. Are You a Confident Swimmer? Scuba diving requires you to be trained for it but, this isn’t essential for snorkeling. If you’re someone who’s scared of water but still wants to experience marine life – then snorkeling is surely for you! Just being at the surface of the ocean and leaving your body loose, with an endless sea in front of you, will give you a scenic view and soothe your mind. Can You Handle a Lot of Equipment? That’s a really important aspect to consider before you make a decision. For snorkeling, you’ll only need a mask, goggles, and a snorkel. Whereas scuba diving requires you to wear a lot more equipment like air… Read More »Snorkeling Vs. Scuba Diving: Which One’s For You?
