Diving techniques
Diving techniques refer to the methods used for entering water and moving underwater safely and efficiently. Key techniques include the proper positioning of the body when entering the water to minimize splash (like the streamlined entry in a feet-first dive), buoyancy control to maintain depth, and effective breathing techniques to conserve energy. Divers also employ specific movements, such as the dolphin kick or flutter kick, to propel themselves. Additionally, safety measures, like using proper gear and understanding equalization to alleviate ear pressure, are crucial for a safe and enjoyable diving experience.
