Press Packer Kristina started diving when she was eight-years-old.
In her report she tells us about her first breath underwater and why she loves diving with sea creatures.
"If you are looking for a fun sport, scuba dive. It's amazing!
Getting into diving
I first started scuba diving by doing a
course called Padi
Bubblemaker when I was eight years old.
The instructors on the course
made sure that everything was safe.
Breathing underwater
During the course I
dived in the shallow end of
the pool.
My first ever
breath underwater was
absolutely amazing.
A few days later an instructor
came with me into the sea to
do a shallow dive. The coral
and the colours were beautiful.
Diving deeper
When I was 10 years old I was able to
become a junior open water
diver.
This meant that I could
dive with my parents to a
depth of 12 metres.
Enjoying exams!
I had to
do two tests, one theory test
and one in the pool.
Six months
before the test I was given a
book to read about diving,
which I read and really enjoyed.
The
pool exam was a lot of fun.
I did my exam with adults too,
and I passed!!
Swimming with sea creatures
It was my parents who got me interested in diving. They
really enjoyed diving and
seeing sea creatures.
It's definitely my favourite sport too.
It's incredible seeing the
creatures first hand, instead
of just looking at pictures in
guide books."
