In Bora Bora diving is like hiking through canyons and across broad plateaus of coral with wide valleys of sand. Divers with proficient air consumption will cover good distances and want to remain in choice locations for as long as possible with the large sea life found in the rugged terrain. Exercise can help improve air consumption; a big benefit for diving in Bora Bora.

In order to extend our air supply and therefore our dives safely we can do a number of things. Instructor Trainer Stephen C. Mendel shares how to have fun and save air.

Savor the freshness and flavors of Bora Bora with this recipe for Smoky Planked and Grilled Red Snapper. Healthy eating can be particularly delicious when inspired by tropical locations.

Understanding fitness for scuba diving begins with knowing the changes that take place within the body in an underwater environment and how fitness for diving can make a positive difference. Learn training tools to help measure exercise intensity and determine fitness levels.
