Is There Such a Thing as Nude Scuba Diving?
from: Maxx Adventure TravelMany people find nature very relaxing, especially when they stay beside a body of water. An example is singer Sarah McLachlan. She couldn't imagine living away from the ocean.
Some water babies prefer scuba diving because it allows them to be closer to marine life. Diving underneath the deep recesses of the ocean allow them to witness first-hand coral reefs and underwater marine life such as dolphins and sharks.
But did you know there's an alternative in the scuba diving sport we, normal people (those who aren't into diving) are aware of. There's nude scuba diving. In fact there are even clubs with members who enjoy being so free when they're deep down in the water.
For these people, diving in the nude is exhilarating. They like the feel of water naturally caressing their body. Their number is actually surprising.
Just like any activity people engage in, there are safety considerations in nude scuba diving. For example, there are some tropical and subtropical waters that have sea lice which can be caught under clothing. If this happens, the lice sting is quite painful. Sea lice don't cling to the skin but they do cling to body hair. Therefore, if one is going to scuba dive in the nude, the recommended body hair must be shaved or trimmed.
Also, nude scuba diving assists the diver in becoming better in his sport by making him/her more conscious of his/her surroundings. The underwater environment will teach improved and advanced diving skills. For example, rocks, coral, cliffs can be brushed against when the diver is wearing a wetsuit. This can damage the expensive gear and even result in a safety hazard. But in scuba diving, the diver can "be" in his environment. However, this means he/she should be all the more careful.
There may be advantages in nude scuba diving, but there are also some disadvantages, naturally. Like, male divers must avoid feeding fish because some of the fish can't tell food from a man's private parts. The fish try to bite it. Also, men should always protect themselves when a school of fish comes their way.
You may be snickering as you read this, but it's a serious matter any nude scuba diver must take notice of. A fish bite is hazardous. Just be conscious of the diving environment you're in -- especially if you aren't wearing a wetsuit or bathing suit.
If you want to try nude scuba diving, you can go to Mexico, Honduras, Antiqua, Bahamas, Bonaire, Dominican Republic, Florida and Jamaica. A majority of nude scuba drivers frequent the beaches in these locations.
