YOGYAKARTA - Scuba diving learning can be done by exploring courses in diving training institutions that are already scattered in big cities in Indonesia. So how long do we have to take diving courses?

Complying with the diving method depends on you. Diving or equivalent schools consist of theoretical sessions, limited water sessions and open waters. Generally it takes between 3 and 5 days to complete it. If you are comfortable in water and a sharp swimmer then the course can take only 3 days.

Theoretical parts take between 12 and 15 hours to complete and consist of book sessions as well as videos, quizzes, and tests. Some institutions currently offer this as eLearning that can be completed at home, virtually, before starting the practical section.

During course theoretic sections, students learn about the basic sports diving principles, how diving affects our bodies, how to tackle emergency situations, what we can see as well as marine physics. This includes how to become a diver as well as relative expertise that will be resolved in limited and open waters.

In a limited section, you will learn how to prepare, cope with and clean your equipment. Practice and check safe friends, method of tackling emergency conditions, as well as trying to increase your buoyancy underwater. There are a series of capabilities that must be completed starting from the method of cleaning masks to removing your load belts at the bottom of the water before replacing them.

To complete your certification, there are 4 dives to a maximum depth of 20 m. Throughout this dive, you will train your expertise, train your buoyancy, and reveal the beauty of the seabed. Your instructors will be by your side to offer help. After you complete the relevant courses and tests, you are technically certified scuba divers.

You can dive, with a friend, without supervision. However, the majority of people with experience will comment if it takes longer to become a diver. It is also important to note that you must always get local recommendations when diving in a new place and carry out orientation dives.

The point is, the more you carry out the dive, the more proficient you will be and the better.
