BREATHING
AIR AT DEPTH
Dive health also includes taking care
of yourself in other ways - including
keeping your skills and knowledge sharp.
The best way to do this is to be an
active diver - dive - this helps maintain
your dive skills. Take part in new underwater
adventures, like dive travel and special
activities and courses. You'll have
fun while developing new dive skills
and improving and refining those you
have. If possible, swim with fins in
a pool regularly to keep your leg muscles
toned - and it's a good aerobic exercise.
Practice the skills you learn in this
course frequently.
If you're away from diving for awhile,
no sweat - it happens to all divers
once in a while - refresh your dive
skills and knowledge. Review this manual,
the Open Water Diver Video and practice
your skills with a PADI Divemaster,
Assistant Instructor or Instructor.
The PADI Scuba Review program refreshes
your knowledge and skills, and it's
quick and easy - one evening or a morning
is usually all you need

If
you're a woman, you have some special
health considerations, including menstruation
and pregnancy. As long as menstruation
doesn't normally keep you from participating
in other active recreations, there's
no reason why it should keep you from
diving either. Diving while pregnant
is another story. There's not much known
about how diving may affect a developing
fetus. It's generally agreed that it's
not worth the risk; so discontinue diving
while pregnant, or if you're trying
to become pregnant you're breathing
now. The filling process filters the
air to remove chemical and particle
impurities, and it removes most of the
moisture, which can damage scuba tanks
and cause other problems
