Scuba Diving



Before I die I would like to scuba dive at the Great Barrier Reef. The Great Barrier Reef is located off the coast of Queensland, Australia and is said to be the best place in the world to scuba dive. SCUBA, or self-contained underwater breathing apparatus is the tank that you put on your back that allows you to breathe underwater. The scuba tank is much better than snorkeling, free diving, and the airline; the tank allows more range and longer time underwater. However before going out and scuba diving, there a few things that you have to do first. There are multiple ways you can get certified, for example, online and a class. To get certified you have to go through a course and take multiple test runs in a pool with an instructor. After proving that you can handle yourself underwater you will be ready to take on the real thing and head to the most beautiful scuba diving spot in the world, the Great Barrier Reef. At these reefs you can see many things such as ship wrecks, coral gardens, thousands of species of marine animals, as well as under water canyons.
