HOW TO DIVE PROPERLY
-
THINK AHEAD
Once you’ve started your dive, you don’t have time to think. Know the depth of the water and plan your dive path. Never dive where you don’t know the water depth or where there may be hidden obstructions. -
STEER UP
When you dive down, you must be ready to steer up. As you enter the water, your arms should be extended over your head, hands flat and aiming up. Hold your head up and arch your back. This way, your whole body helps you steer up, away from the bottom. Your extended arms and hands can also protect your head. If a diver’s head hits bottom, major injury to neck and spine can result – so always remember, head and hands up! -
CONTROL YOUR DIVE
Sometimes divers lose control through improper use of hands and arms. Practice holding your arms extended, hands flat and tipped up. Like learning to swim or ride a bicycle, you have to learn to make the right moves automatically. Carefully rehearse the proper diving techniques before you dive.
