EDITOR’S NOTE

“Diving is an investment of time and money but the rewards can be life-changing, literally”

– Andi Cummings

We are bound to experience many “firsts” in our lives, from our first baby steps to our first day in school to our first jobs. Whether it is encountering the unexpected or preparing for the unknown, it all boils down to our innate craving for exciting adventures – diving will be one of them. My love for the ocean developed from young and recently, I was privileged to join the dive family and experience my first scuba dive. All I can say is: Diving once is never enough! The vast ocean is waiting to be discovered by the curious.

In this issue, we present must-have dive certificates and insider tips – for anyone yearning to begin their dive journey, take up a specialty, and for those wanting to dive in again after a hiatus. I hope these pages feed your appetite to take the plunge and inspire you to broaden your knowledge and passion for diving.
