			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="aligncenter" title="Top Dive Spots in Asia" src="http://www.ziz.asia/app/webroot/img/uploads/categories/full/d126c_ziz%20inspire-scuba%20diving.jpg" alt="" width="635" height="325" /><br />
If you love the beach, lush greeneries and has a penchant for anything that relates to marine wildlife and adventure then, diving might be the best activity for you. You get to see what the water world is all about and feel the adrenaline rush every time you’re diving.  The best place to practice this activity is in Asia where most of the countries in the said continent are surrounded by water. Asia is also well known because of its friendly people; delicious exotic cuisine and a good location spot to watch diverse marine wildlife. Not to mention going on a <a href="http://www.thinktravel.asia">vacation is Asia</a> is relatively cheaper compared to other continents. You get to have fun and enjoy yourself without hurting your pocket. Here’s a lowdown on the 5 diving spots in Asia.</p>
<p><strong>1.  Japan</strong></p>
<p>Japan is onto only known for their <a href="http://www.digizmo.com">hot gizmos and gadgets</a>. They are also well known because of their few but beautiful beaches and diving spots. One tip though is to take a vacation during their rainy season which is in mid July to early September. You will also find the beaches in Japan as something worth relaxing especially the foods that are being served in the said country</p>
<p><strong> 2. Philippines</strong></p>
<p>Philippines is one of the best diving spots not only in Asia but all over the world! It’s no wonder why tourists keep on coming back for more in this country. The country has 7,100 islands all of which are surrounded by water and so expect to find a different diving destination in this country. The top spots for diving are on Bohol, Palawan, Zambales and of course Boracay! Boracay is best known for its white sandy beach, lush greeneries, friendly people and mouthwatering dishes. If you are on a budget but still wants to get more out of your hard earned cash, then going to the Philippines is the best option. You’ll enjoy vacationing in their islands without ever going bankrupt. Philippines also offer world class diving lessons for beginners who wish to learn the sport as well. Unlike other countries, the Philippines have a good climate and so you can go to the beach all year round except during rainy season.</p>
<p><strong>3. Malaysia</strong></p>
<p>Malaysia tops the list because of the diverse marine wildlife and the sunken ships that are found underwater. You should try going to the Redang Archipelago because of their leatherback turtles scattered all over the place. The Island of Tioman is also popular because of the sunken ships during World War 2.</p>
<p><strong>4. Indonesia</strong></p>
<p>Bali, Indonesia is popular among Hollywood celebrities because of its wonderful scenery, lush greeneries, diverse marine wildlife and of course because of their beaches! This country has amazing diving destinations that you simply can’t find anywhere on earth. If you want wish to have some privacy and a sweet escape from all the pressure of your work, choosing Indonesia as a place to dive is your best bet. The climate in this county is similar in the Philippines and so diving season is year round but the best month to perform this activity is from April to December.</p>
<p><strong> 5. Taiwan</strong></p>
<p>If you wish to go Taiwan for a diving adventure, you should go to Green Island where hammerhead sharks are found. Penghu Islands is also a place for you to try to visit because of their beautiful coral reefs and green turtles.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Dive Flags are fast becoming the symbols for one of the most exciting of all sports: scuba diving. The flag is unique; but noticed for more than just a symbol. In most areas, there are laws that are very strict about carrying the flag with you while diving. The dive flag is traditionally a red flag with a white diagonal stripe running from the top corner to the bottom corner.<a href="http://recdive.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/dive-flag.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-247" title="dive flag" src="http://recdive.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/dive-flag-300x225.jpg" alt="dive flag" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p>They are generally made of vinyl, and can sometimes be mounted in a different way. Some ways divers mount them are on a boat or on a staff, which can be made of fiberglass; so that it stiffens, and that the dive flags are easily stood out. If you don&#8217;t have a boat while diving; the flags are securely attached to a float; or some other floating object that will warn other boaters and fishermen that you are there diving under water.</p>
<p>It doesn&#8217;t matter how you mount your flag; it has to be visible to all other people. Each state has different laws on how to use the dive flag. I recommend that before you dive; contact the city officials on all the regulations, so that you don&#8217;t run into any problems that can cause serious damage to you or someone else.  Most divers are required to come to surface at least 25 feet of the dive flag; and by not following these rules, it can become fatal to you.  If you plan on diving in different locations, or are planning to travel dive; you should have multiple flags set up around your perimeter; but make sure they are no further than 100 feet apart, just to warn other boaters and to make sure that you are following all the laws of that particular state you are in.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Choosing the right fins for scuba diving is an exciting decision; you have many places to choose from. The most popular ones are the original full foot fins; but there have been many changes and advances to those original designs. Most of the new models have gone through rigorous mathematical and scientific designs to fit the right persons foot. Much thought process has gone into these new types of diving fins; so as to give you as much comfort and agility as possible. <a href="http://recdive.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/diving-fins.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-243" title="diving fins" src="http://recdive.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/diving-fins-300x211.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="211" /></a></p>
<p>There are lots of people who are not satisfied with the new designs, so they are inclined to settle with the old school models of fins. They find that it is more comfortable; and helps them maneuver in the water a lot easier. Its not anything that the manufacturers are concerned about; indeed not, for it gives them still the business that they crave; and makes for some great job security. Though, you should be comfortable in the fins that you purchase; for you may not get the right effectiveness and smoothness of the dive that you are expecting; so I would recommend that you seek a professional to see what the best fit for you would be.</p>
<p>I would also recommend researching a style that would be perfect for you! In most cases people choose the adjustable heel version of the fin. The full foot ones are mostly used in snorkeling adventures. You can use the traditional fins for easier up and down movements in the water; they are most widely used for currents and free diving. The choice is most definitely yours; go for comfort, design, and agility!  I definitely stick with the ones that are recommended by the experts. There are numerous places to go and do research for the right fins. I have never found any reason to not trust the experts. If the design bothers me; than I just go for the comfort. I believe that is the right thing to do.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A few years back, a friend of mine who has shortsighted problem asked me if he could become a diver like me and a bunch of friends. He was so keen to dive even before knowing me but was stopped as he is wearing a <a href="http://www.glassesusa.com" target="_blank">prescription glasses</a>. Some of his friends who are not even a diver, told him that those with vision problem cannot go below the water with a tank at their back because they can&#8217;t wear the eyeglasses in the facemask.</p>
<p><a href="http://recdive.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Scuba-Diving-Masks.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-236" title="Scuba-Diving-Masks" src="http://recdive.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Scuba-Diving-Masks-300x300.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="300" /></a>I was laughing when he told me that. Pity him, but luckily he checked with me and my fellow divers on this. For those who may not notice, facemasks that are used in Scuba diving can sharpen your vision and protect your eyes while exploring the underwater world.</p>
<p>If you wear eyeglasses or contact lenses, you actually have a better time in the water if you have the same vision correction. It is like having a lens prescription embedded into your eyewear, designed specifically for this <a href="http://www.netknowledgenow.com/members/chadgilbert90.aspx" target="_blank">watersports activity</a>.</p>
<p>Light behaves differently in the water compared in the air by distorting your vision, especially when you are doing underwater activities such as diving or swimming, objects appear closer and bigger than they actually are. This will limit the coordination between your eye and hand.</p>
<p>Diving facemasks correct what you see by creating an air pocket in front of you that allows light rays to travel to and through your eyes, giving you eyes the ability to do a better focusing. Without that layer of air, your eyes would contact the water directly and cause a vision problem.</p>
<p>And for people like my friend, worry not as there are prescription lenses to see clearly underwater. However, you may need to change your prescription as the distance between your facemask lens and your eyes is different from the distance between your eyes and a normal <a href="http://www.glassesusa.com" target="_blank">eyeglasses</a> lenses.</p>
<p>There are facemasks that come with a fixed prescription (meaning you need to know what&#8217;s yours), but some has an interchangeable lens, so you could swap the lens if it does not fit you. Make sure you check with the diving shop to find out more about the prescription lenses before buying.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Scuba Diving is very easy and interesting as far as you really gain more knowledge about it and know the risks involving in it and then get into action by diving into the sea for adventure. There is another important thing that you need to know before Scuba Diving and that is Scuba Diving equipments.</p>
<p>The suit that you wear should be able to withstand the compressed air that will also be carried by you and hence a best wet suit has to be purchased as Scuba Diving equipment. Do not compromise on cheap quality suits because of low costs because this involves your life at risk. Here are the equipments that you need to be ready with before Scuba Diving.</p>
<p><strong>Wet Suit</strong>: &#8211; Before buying the best wet suit for you, do some research about the water in which you are going to dive in because the conditions of water also matter when you buy a suit for you. The temperature of the water will determine the thickness of tour wet suit because if your suit is very thin and the temperature is too low, you will feel too cold inside water and it might freeze you. <a href="http://recdive.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/flipper.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-224" title="flipper" src="http://recdive.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/flipper-300x223.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="223" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Scuba Diving Gear</strong>: &#8211; Another important thing to be noted is that your wet suit should be fitting your body and must not give access for any water in the sea to get inside your suit making you wet. You might be tempted to buy a cheaper suit for your Scuba Diving, but it is highly not recommended that you go in for a cheap and low quality wetsuit as this is very important Scuba Diving equipment.</p>
<p><strong>Flippers</strong>: &#8211; This act as the legs of fishes making it easier for you to swim faster, easier and go inside deep water. This should also be fitting your body and should not get removed due to the velocity of water.</p>
<p>Keep all the above things in mind when you are purchasing your Scuba Diving equipments and have fun.</p>
