The Golden Sun B&B Water Activities Introduction
Free Diving
Free Diving Experience and Certification Courses
Welcome to The Golden Sun B&B. We collaborate with local water activity providers in Liuqiu to offer a variety of aquatic experiences. Free diving allows you to explore the depths of the ocean, see Liuqiu’s beautiful coral reefs up close, and enjoy intimate encounters with clownfish.
What is Free Diving?
Free diving, also known as breath-hold diving, is an activity where you dive underwater on a single breath without using scuba equipment. It is both a physical and mental challenge, offering a way to connect closely with nature. This activity provides a unique experience of swimming with marine life in a completely serene environment.
What's the Difference Between Free Diving Experience and Certification Courses?
At The Golden Sun B&B, we offer two types of free diving services: Free Diving Experience and Free Diving Certification Courses.
-
Free Diving Experience: This is a brief introductory course designed for beginners, typically lasting 3 hours to half a day. You will learn basic diving techniques and safety knowledge, and practice a few short dives under the guidance of an instructor. This experience is meant to let you enjoy the pleasures of free diving without needing formal certification.
-
Free Diving Certification Courses: This is a more in-depth course for those who wish to master free diving skills and obtain an internationally recognized certification. The course lasts about three days and includes theoretical learning, pool training, and open water practice. After completing the course, you will undergo an assessment. Upon passing, you will be certified by an international organization such as AIDA (International Association for Development of Apnea) or a similar body.
Free Diving Safety Guidelines
Free diving is a safe and enjoyable activity, but it requires adherence to some basic safety rules:
-
Buddy System: Never dive alone. Always have a suitable buddy accompany you.
-
Proper Warm-Up: Perform adequate warm-up exercises before diving to keep your body flexible.
-
Stay Relaxed: Maintaining calm and relaxation helps extend dive time and depth.
-
Know Your Limits: Understand and respect your physical limits to avoid overexertion.
-
Post-Dive Recovery: Practice proper breathing recovery after each dive to stabilize your body.
When is the Best Time for Free Diving?
Liuqiu offers exceptional conditions for free diving year-round. The clear waters make it an ideal location for exploring the underwater world. Mornings and evenings are typically the best times for diving, as marine life is more active and sea conditions are generally more stable.
Environmental Protection and Free Diving Responsibility
Liuqiu is home to a precious marine ecosystem, and we urge every snorkeler to respect and protect this beautiful sea.
Please follow environmental protection guidelines: do not touch the coral reefs or marine life, and let's work together to preserve this blue paradise.
Avoid using spray-on sunscreens, as they can harm the ocean, leading to coral bleaching and death. Choose physical sunscreens, biodegradable, and reef-safe products instead.
Refrain from using single-use plastics, and always take your trash with you from the beach.
