3.Underwater, always follow your instructor’s guidance. Avoid going off alone or pushing yourself to swim too deep or too far.
4.Underwater, due to water pressure on your eardrums, you might feel some discomfort or pain. But no worries — mastering a few simple equalization techniques during pre-dive training will allow you to dive smoothly and comfortably.
5.While underwater, do not touch unfamiliar marine life with your hands or feet to avoid provoking potentially aggressive creatures..
6.For nearsighted divers, consider using prescription diving masks. Never wear contact lenses underwater—they can easily fall out, and when you ascend, your body (including your eyes) will begin to release nitrogen. Contact lenses can interfere with this process, which may be harmful to your health.
