Diving has picked up more than its fair share of urban legends over the years. Before you let a myth talk you out of getting certified, here are ten of the most common ones that shouldn't be holding you back.
- Myth #1: You have to dive deep to see anything interesting.
- Myth #2: The only good diving is in the tropics.
- Myth #3: Scuba diving is dangerous.
- Myth #4: Scuba diving is expensive.
- Myth #5: You can only become a diver if you're an excellent swimmer.
- Myth #6: Scuba tanks are full of pure oxygen.
- Myth #7: You have to find someone to take the class with you.
- Myth #8: Learning to dive is difficult and takes a long time.
- Myth #9: Diving is only for young or very fit people.
- Myth #10: You can't scuba dive if you experience claustrophobia.
