Winter period scuba experience

Scuba diving during the winter period has always been a special type of scuba diving, and it also offers many benefits for our health.

The absence of holidaymakers, boats, fishermen, and a lot of people in general from the coasts during the winter months, helps any kind of marine species to come to shallower waters in quite large populations.

An important factor that can guarantee an amazing underwater experience is also the best visibility. During the winter, algae growth is greatly restricted as the water temperature is lower. The strongest winds in the winter season, keep the waters crystal clear and marine life high.

Most important of all, however, are the benefits to our physical and mental health.

Regarding our physical health, because our body is in a colder environment than in summer, it results in burning more calories, due to the need to maintain a high temperature. This process helps to improve the circulatory system, reduce muscle inflammation, boost our immune system, as well as our physical condition.

As far as our mental health is concerned, because most of the beaches and coasts are empty during the winter, it makes a mood for relaxation.

Seawater is known to be rich in trace elements of magnesium, potassium, calcium, sodium and iodine, substances necessary for the proper functioning of the human body. Taking inhalation (inhalation therapy) seems to be the most effective way of taking these beneficial substances.

The person simply inhales the floating seawater droplets, created by the movement of the sea and the waves, combined with the physical “calm” we feel after a dive, as well as the quietness of a vacant beach in the winter period, they help us to calm and eliminate anxiety and stress.

The winter season is also the ideal time for a Drysuit course.

The Drysuit and its usability give us an important advantage as divers, as it allows us to dive comfortably throughout all the year, travel to winter diving destinations (eg ice diving in Iceland), while at the same time improving our skills.

Whether we are experienced divers or just starting out, Eco Diving Center encourages you to try a winter diving or Drysuit course and bring this unique experience of scuba diving into your life.
