Divers Are Happier, More Intelligent & Better Travelled – Here’s Why

We’ve seen 70% more of the world than you – a world you don’t even know exists, animals that you’ll never see outside of water. We are scuba divers, and here’s why our lives are richer than those that don’t dive. How much longer are you going to miss out for?

Scuba Divers are fitter and healthier

Oh yes we are. First of all let’s talk about how exercising in water is very effective due to the natural resistance water has against our bodies. Using your legs to fin at depth is great exercise and the sensation of being weightless makes it feel almost effortless. It has been scientifically substantiated that any form of exercise improves cardio-vascular performance and that translates into a reduced risk of heart attacks, strokes, circulatory problems and ailments in general. BOOM.

Then there’s the added benefit of the sun, that usually pokes its head out in most dive destinations we are travelling to. The Vitamin D from the sun not only helps the rate of absorption of calcium, it also helps the cells pass calcium to each other. This higher absorption rate helps to keep the bones healthy and strong. Exposure to sunlight also helps to increase endorphin production within our brains.

They live in a Real Life ‘Finding Nemo’ Movie

Can you believe they made two whole movies about finding nemo when we get to find him every day? They should have come to the scuba divers first, we could have told them exactly where he was.

The life of a scuba diver is one of dodging turtles, marvelling at fish and watching as sharks glide by. The pure pleasure, wonder, and awe of interacting with, and being up close to, amazing marine life produces an incredible feeling of increased well-being, not to mention how damn cool it is swimming in a real life fish tank. You just can’t do that sort of stuff on dry land!
