sights to be seen only
from beneath the surface
of Uie water.
For shallow diving or
speerfiahing, down to 10
or 15 feet, all that is need
ed is a tight-fitting face
mask with a glass win
dow, flippers to help the
diver control his move
ments under water, and a
breathing tube to breath
while floating.
It is not necessary to
be a crack swimmer. With
some practice, the begin
ner will learn to hold his
breath for a minute or
more while he swims
down. To stay under
longer, or for diving
deeper than 15 feet, a
'lung" or self-contained
breathing apparatus is re
quired. For diving with
the "lung," an adjustable
weight belt is needed to
adjust to body's buoyan
cy. This belt, as well as
the "lung" should be held
on by quick-release type
buckles.
Other Equipment
Strongly recommended
additional items include
strong sheath knife, a
depth guagc and water
proof walch, protective
garments for wear in cold
water, and an inner tube
or float, with an anchor
line and weight.
The standard tank used
with a "lung" holds
enough air for about one
hour under water near
the surface. Most sports
diving is at 30 or 40 feet
or less. At such depths
marine and fish life is
more abundant, the water
is warmer, there is usual
ly enough light for good
visibility and the diver
does not need to worry
about decompression
problems.
Strenuous Sport
Skin diving is a stren
uous sport and cells for
considerable exertion un
der water. But experts
say that anyone who' is
in good health need not
hesitate to try it.
Just be sure to observe
the few:
Have a complete physi
cal check-up before div
ing with a "lung!"
Never dive alone - use
the "buddy y s t e m.'
'
PURSE - A large, roomy
bag is a bonus for the
traveler. This style in
soft, grainy calf is easy
to tote no matter how
much is stowed away inside.
Large Handbag is
Must for Women
One of the most con
venient -items a woman
can carry on hervacation
is an over-sized handbag
with a shoulder strap.
Any seasoned air trav
eler will tell you that she
generally makes her free
baggage weight limit
thanks to her large hand
bag. Items carried onto
the plane are not
weighed.
But no matter how you
travel, you'll be glad you
had your roomy contain'
er. Put camera, maps, ev
erything you need inside
to leave your hands free
for taking pictures and
shopping.
Know where your buddy
is at all ttmes. -
Master diving with
fins, mask and snorkel
before attempting "lung"
diving. Familiarize your
self with all equipment.
Practice with it in shal
low water. Use only
quick - release buckles.
Practice getting out of
them quickly.
When using underwa
ter breathing equipment
breathe slowly. Never
hold your breath when
surfacing from any depth.
