“Recreational Diving”: these are 2 words of the diving world that are worth an explanation. In this article, we tell you what recreational diving is, its types, its limits, and how important it is to keep on learning.
Do you dive just for pleasure? Does your certification level not allow you to go deeper than 40 meters/ 130 feet? Are you just an Open Water Diver? If your answers are yes, you are a recreational diver.
Among the branches of diving that exist today, recreational diving is the one that is practiced only for fun. So, the big difference between recreational diving and professional diving is the same as between you and your dive instructor. While you dive for pleasure, a PADI Instructor has found a way of living in our favorite sport.
