Five health benefits of scuba diving
It’s not sheer enjoyment or adrenaline rush that one can get from scuba diving. Here are some
leading health benefits that the sport or hobby can offer to virtually everyone.
Increased strength and flexibility
As one moves through the water during a dive, muscles tend to work harder due to the resistant of
the water as well as the current. The more one dives and swims, the more these muscles lengthen,
become stronger, and develop both endurance and flexibility.
Deep breathing
As slow, deep breathing is crucial to optimize air consumption and bottom time during scuba diving,
one develops a calm attitude and reduces the risk of a lung expansion injury and mucus buildup,
potentially helping in conditions such as asthma.
Stress relief
Think of it as breathing during meditation: slow, deep breathing that induces a relaxed state. This,
alongside the fact that the diver focuses on the underwater surroundings instead of life’s daily
pressures, helps reduce stress and balances the nervous system.
Lowered blood pressure
First diving into the water might make one’s blood pressure spike temporarily and slightly due to the
excitement. Once warmed up, one may find reduced heart rate and lower blood pressure. If one has
high blood pressure, though, the doctor needs to be informed.
Water’s healing properties
What would it feel like to be back in the womb of one’s mother, feeling secure and immersed in
well-being? Diving allows the body to calm down and, instead of fighting against the current,
surrender and be one with the underwater environment.
