Diving - a fashionable hobby and sports

Does not lag behind other world and Russia. Certainly, during Soviet times clubs DOSAAF also prepared many skin-divers, but their preparation was узконаправленной and the army calculated on requirements and the Navy. Many exercises in which trained at schools DOSAAF, have been torn off from a reality and could not be applied actually. Really, the hobby for diving at us has appeared during reorganisation when many people could leave freely the country, buying rounds on rest in the exotic countries. But at that time this interest was not such mass. Present "epidemic" of hobby has begun this fascinating kind of sports in 1994-1996 when in the country there were the first дайв clubs. If in 1997 certificates of the diver have received about 2 thousand fans of a scuba diving in 2001 their number has made already 15 thousand persons. The quantity of the certificated diving centres constantly grows in Russia, and has already passed a mark hundred. And many experts who there teach, have passed certification on several systems. Some person, have received the highest rank which only is possible, "course-director".

The number of the certificated diving centres in Russia already has passed for one hundred. In everyone teach master who have passed certification on several systems. There is even some person, received the highest category among divers - "course-director".
It pleases all already because henceforth to receive the qualified preparation any interested person can, not leaving country limits.

Though employment by diving demand enough the big investments which concern also purchase of good equipment, both training, and trips to the places most popular in divers on Red sea, Canary Islands to carry out immersing, according to PADI in Russia in this kind of sports are engaged not only rich people. About 14 % from them students make, and at 22 % monthly average the income makes less than 300 dollars. Usually, such divers use club equipment.

Middle age of the Russian diver also is less, than, for example, in the USA. If to our average fan of a scuba diving about 30 years in the USA this age makes 36 years. 77 % of divers in Russia have higher education, whereas in the same USA it only 50 %.

Experts predict the further increase in popularity of this fascinating kind of sports. According to course-director PADI №151337 Sergeys Kurikova, now this industry is developed enough only in some large cities. Among them: Moscow, St.-Petersburg, partly Vladivostok, Novosibirsk, Novorossisk, Sochi. Diving is in other cities in embryo.

The nature of Russia is very beautiful, a large quantity of fine and pure lakes involve more and more tourists to whom all time has bothered to float in Red sea, and it would be desirable to master all new and new places. Thus, diving, can become one of ways, develop tourist business in many corners of our immense country.
But to develop дайв - the centres on periphery, supervising over them from Moscow, it is impossible. That the centre normally functioned, it is necessary to live constantly in a province. Therefore Sergey Kurikov advises to open such centres to the former divers-professionals which professional career is short enough, and here the experience got with each immersing, really is invaluable.

It is necessary to find only a boat for immersings, to find interesting objects under water to develop a route for tourists. Certainly, during first time, probably, there will be complexities with equipment since it expensive enough, one complete set costs nearby 1500$. But as many divers come with the equipment they need to give only cylinders and cargoes.

Well and the main thing that interests literally all - how much this kind of sports is dangerous. According to Sergey Kurikova if the diver strictly adheres to safety precautions which to it taught on courses with it practically anything terrible does not happen. The American statistics says, that diving occupies 22 place by quantity of accidents on 10 thousand, by the way, on 21 place on the same statistics there is a usual harmless bowling.
