Modern scuba diving is so safe due to technical advancesin equipment.
Gone are issues like buoyancy control, thanksto modern BCDs (Buoyancy Control Devices), which allow you to add or remove air from your tank. Also gone ourweight beltsand now individual weights can be inserted into various pockets. Likewise, there is no need to calculate on bottom times or stops to prevent decompression sicknesssince a wrist-worn computer does it all for you, and stores the data from all your dives ? your Rolex Divemaster is now merely a status symbol. Moreover, to enhance our dive memories,
we can now use our smartphones inserted within special waterproof cases, for taking stillsand videos.
We're exceptionally fortunate that La Manga Club is located near so many excellent dive sites. The original concept of the club revolved around golf and tennis, but I'll bet nobody realised the potential of the area becoming a magnet for diving enthusiasts.
