On an exciting evening, sea lovers and challenge seekers gathered in the Eastern Province for the first cultural meeting of its kind titled "First Breath... Why Dive?" , organized by the Coral Beach Diving Foundation as part of the "What was the last time you did something for the first time?" campaign, led by certified trainer Saleh Al Saleh.
The fundamental question that started the meeting was simple yet profound: “Why do we dive?”
Why do we dive?
The conversation opened up honestly and transparently about the reasons why people take up diving:
- Escape from the pressures of life.
- Discover a new underwater world.
- Build self-confidence and learn skills you never forget.
- It's an indescribable feeling when you take your first breath in the silence of the sea.
The moment of the first breath
Everyone present agreed on one thing: the first breath underwater is no ordinary moment . It's a moment when time stops, the noise fades away, and you finally feel like you've become part of the underwater world. The light weight, the first heartbeat, and the first glimpse of the fish and coral... they all remain etched in your memory.
Types of divers
During the meeting, we reviewed the types of divers, and found ourselves among them:
- The adventurer who is looking for everything new.
- Seeker of peace and tranquility.
- The photographer who sees the sea as a work of art.
- An environmental explorer who wants to protect the ocean's treasures.
