Although many inexperienced travellers tend to think that Doha is hardly the place for water sports. Surprisingly however, they will soon realise that it is not so. With its impressive geographical location, Doha offers many scuba diving courses to travellers. Diving in Doha is no longer an impossible task.
Whether you are an amateur, expert or even a first-timer, it hardly matters in Doha. The diving experts will teach you the art. The very first step is to observe how others scuba dive. And then ask yourself if you are fit enough to try out your first step of diving. If you do not feel fit enough yet, do not take the first step – however much expert your coach could be. Take the first step, only if you are fit. Places such as Banana Island Resort Doha by Anantara offer coach services as well as diving gear.
If you already have diving qualifications but out of touch, you can still refresh your skills by signing up for a PADI certified course. Once you are certain of your fitness, take that first step to explore Doha’s underwater.
You have already seen how fast the divers are when they first enter the waters. But you need not be that fast. Slow your pace and make sure your disturbance to the marine life is minimum. When you slow your pace and floats leisurely, the waters will remain calm. This is the moment when you can see miscellaneous types of marine creatures appearing into your view.
When you go down Doha’s waters, you will be in for many surprises. Not to mention mere schools of brightly coloured fish, but you will also come across abandoned shipwrecks only if you have patience to slow down. That patience is rewarding, as you will not be easily tired and be exposed to many interesting things under water.
